Awesome Posted April 21 Author Share Posted April 21 Ok we have discovered more issues. The clutch is leaking a lot of fluid. Probably the slave. I haven't crawled under it and daughter said "I can't find it." We already replaced the master. There is a parasitic draw of 343mA. The battery goes dead in about two days. There is no radio. I unplugged the bulkhead connector and the front grille harness and we were still seeing a parasitic draw. The draw comes from two places - with the alternator fusible link wired to the solenoid on the fenderwell, the alternator shows a draw of 343mA. With the alternator fusible link disconnected, the two green fusible link bundles with ring terminals collectively show a draw of 343mA. If ONE of them is hooked up, the draw is only 113mA. If the OTHER one is hooked up (by itself), it shows a draw of 343mA. If BOTH are hooked up, it shows a draw of 343mA. If the fusible link to the alternator is hooked up alongside both of the other fusible link bundles, the draw is 343mA. All of this is true with the bulkhead connector completely disconnected. Also my dad reconnected the wires on the fenderwell solenoid because he thought they were hooked up wrong. The starter now stays engaged longer than it should. Does anyone have a diagram for how those wires get hooked up properly? Does anyone have a Renix FSM? I have what I think is an FSM but it's for an '88 and I don't think it's complete.

eaglescout526 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 There should be an 88 electrical manual in the DIY. That should help out a lot with your wiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, I downloaded it again. Daughter says starter is still staying engaged for a few seconds after she's finished cranking. Ignition switch might be sticking, which could account for the drain except I can't figure out how it would still work when the bulkhead harness is unplugged.

eaglescout526 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Maybe the starter relay is failing or sticking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
