Audio Systems - 2001 audio amp battery drain


Expert: Ernesto R - 10/20/2009

Question
I have a 2001 Nissan Pathfinder,with a Bose System. I have been experiencing battery drain (resulting in a dead battery) and used a test light to locate a possible drain source. I traced the drain to the audio amp fuse.
When i pull the fuse and use the test lamp between the negative batt. post and neg. terminal connector, I hear chatter from the amp. I have pulled the fuse, until I can resolve this.
Could I possibly have one of the bad flow solder amps?


Answer
remove the negative battery terminal
the test light goes in the terminal from the battery and the terminal that you remove
if the light is very bright there is something taking a lot of power ( keep the doors close )
UNPLUG THE AMPLIFIER AND SEE IF THE LIGHT goes donw , if not keep looking for the problem
good luck
