First of all check your alternator to make sure it is actually working. A
certain short in the voltage regulator (built into the alternator) might drain
your battery when the car is off. Your erratic tachometer indicates that the
voltage has dropped significantly when the engine was running and that indicates
that the alternator was not charging the battery.
Have your alternator tested first. I bet this is your problem.
Let us know how it turns out.

Subject: [DML] HELP!! Fast Power Drain after Tachometer freaking
out Monday, while driving around, my Tachometer started freaking out, wildly going from realistic, to 3000 to 2000, to redline, to realistic and so forth. The next day, the battery was stone dead. I removed the battery (less than a year old) and charged it overnight, reinstalled it last night and, this morning, it was dead again. Has anyone seen this behavior in a major appliance ((Ghostbusters ref) DeLorean)? Can anyone please tell me where the short circuit might be? I really hope to fix this by Sunday since its registered for a Car Show. __._,_.___ Posted by: "Tom" <dmctom@xxxxxxxxx> To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews __,_._,___ |
