Re: [Chrysler300] non-300 electrical

[Gary Barker <gbarker@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Gary,  What we used to do was disconnect the neg. battery cable.  Now 
take a volt meter that will read at least 12v DC. Make a lead to put on 
the pos. & one for the neg. terminal on the volt meter and then hook the 
leads between the neg. terminal   on the battery,  and the positive 
leadon the meter to the neg. battery cable. Your volt meter is now 
acting as a amp meter. Now if you have any current draw the volt meter 
will read 12V.  now make sure averything is turned off. Your meter 
should read 0 Volts.  Start  removing your fuses one at a time . Any 
current draw at all will make the volt meter read 12v.  You have to shut 
your doors while doing this. Just opening a door will make the meter 
read.  The object is to keep disconnecting things one at a time until 
your meter reads o volts. If you don't find the problem then start 
disconnecting harnesses.  also make sure you turn off all switches and 
knobs before you start.  as long as the meter reads something there is 
something drawing current.  This system works much better on older cars 
because you don't have as much electrical stuff.   It will drive you 
nuts but it works. Don't forget to take your keys out of the ign. 
switch.  I'm sure there is a buzzer or door bell ring some where.---Now 
remember. nothing on the car will work while doing this.  If you turn on 
your head lights they  will not come on .      Gary Barker

>Need some guidence. In addition to my 300G I have a 1990 Chrysler LeBarron. My problem is a very slow electrical discharge that left alone will kill my battery in short order. I can't get a mechanic to touch electrical without wanting to replace everything imaginable. The only thing that keeps the car alive is my battery tender.
