dumb question about lights

[A18A]

does leaving the lights popped up flatten the battery over time? like about 3 - 5 days?

[race12001]

no i hasnt on mine when i was wokin on it do you use the button on the dash to pop them

[A18A]

yeah i used the button to pop them up, 1 of the fuses blew, and i replaced it, and it worked fine again, i just left them up, and about 3 days later the battery was dead, like so dead that you could put your tounge on the battery and not get shocked. nothing else was left on in the car either

i thought i answered this question for you or dont you take my advice... the answers no the control box will turn the motor off whren it knows the lights up. unless the lights got a malfunction

no

damn gay, i thought taht was what killed my battery, looks like my car has another problem :( or its just a mega shit battery

[AccordB20A]

lol its gay when ur car runs out of batteryes!

[86ccord]

if it makes you feel any better.. i can leave mine up and my battery stays charged.. :lol:


but yeah.. it shouldnt run the battery downn..

my batt lasted a long time...almost like 20 miles from when the alternator started to die. i wish i had a red top optima

No,the Motors Only Move When Moving The Lights Up Or Down.

damn :( wonder whats falttening my battery

[AccordB20A]

rear impact damage shorting your boot light wire?

[A18A]

i thought that but nah thats functioning well, but i unplugged it a while ago so cant really be that

like so dead that you could put your tounge on the battery and not get shocked.

did you actually try that? :lol:

anyway, try pulling one fuse at a time and use multimeter to see if theres any current draw. If theres a high current draw then you know which circuit to check.

[A18A]

nah i didnt do that, but im just assuming you can, though im not gonna try just in case lol

but yeah thats what im gonna do next, same problem as my vigor i think, maybe the battery just needs a proper charge not just the 20 min runs of the car

[AccordB20A]

my tongues the way i test for power in my car when a multimeter isnt available.

[lostforawhile]

my tongues the way i test for power in my car when a multimeter isnt available.well i'm sure cah does that when he's getting it on late at night with his "girl"

[race12001]

^ lol

[AccordB20A]

hmm very interesting thoughts

you have some kind of current draw., have you checked your glovebox light to see if it turns off? do you have amps in the car, a malfunctioning turn on lead can cause this problem,or the turn on relay in the amp also. like they said,you need a multimeter that measures amps, most will handle ten amps. you hook up the multi meter between the positive battery terminal and the battery clamp,while it's set on amps. if it's reading more then a few miliamps, something is pulling too much current. have someone watch the meter and pull the fuses one at a time when you get to the circuit the current will quit. don't forget the fusebox under the hood also. things like your dome light are in there.if you are worried about the lights being the cause, pull the headlight fuses,then disconnect the light linkages at the motors. then reconnect the headlight fuses,now try and put up the lights,the motors should try and cycle and when the lights don't park,they should stop,and you should get a red warning light in your information center. if it does this the system is working correctly.

it was actually a battery lacking a good charge, but thanks anyway :)
