I am just getting my 1986 Grand Wagoneer up and road worthy. It has an
Electric Plow setup. I disconnected it, and the Battery drained dead in 2 days. The starter wont even click when I turn the Key. Any hints on where to start looking for drainage? I have replaced the Battery ends, and cleaned up the connections. Any help is greatly appreciated. Shawn in NY 1986 Grand Wagoneer 360 Auto |

Hi Shawn,
I would start with the battery, take it down to the parts store and have them put quick charge on it, and load test on it, that should show up any internal shorts. Then start testing with your ten dollar voltmeter, for shorts, you may have to pull the accessory fuse if your radio has memory clock and pre sets. A common problem after jump starts is the accidental cross polarity that zaps the alternator diodes, which is easily found by disconnect it's battery wire and placing the voltmeter in-between, will show that leak.
