AboutRoland Finston Expertise I take questions about domestic Chrysler-product front wheel drive cars and minivans for the years 1982-2000 based upon my experience and shop manuals. I don't have detailed information (e.g. manuals) nor expertise for Jeeps, trucks, SUV's, import vehicles, or for years more recent than 2000 (except Sebring/Stratus I have '03).
I am available to take a question between 8AM CT and 9PM CT, and attempt to provide an answer within 1 hour. If I am shown as "maxed out" try again later in the day as I add question opportunities one at a time so as to respond quickly, but I do have other responsibilities as well so may not be available for several hours at times. Try at 7PM CST as I will always be available for one question then.
There are answers to hundreds of Chrysler questions at your finger tips: click on "view past answers", one of which may be to your question as well; or put a few key words in the "search for" box, above.
Experience I have been a do-it-yourself auto hobbyist for 5 decades, and most recently have been concentrating on the various Chrysler Corporation domestic front wheel drive cars and vans. I have shop manuals and wiring diagrams for many models for the years '83-'00, as well as rear wheel drive cars for the early 80's. I enjoy analyzing problems that other Chrysler enthusiasts are having and sharing my information.

Expert: Roland Finston Date: 6/26/2008 Subject: 94 Lebaron battery goes dead
Question Hi Roland I looked through your answers yesterday, the battery goed dead overnight. I pulled hoood,trunk and glove lights. still same. If i pull fuse #2 courtesy lights etc the battery stays at 13 volts in the morning and starts, i noticed when I pulled #2 the tack does not work, I do not have the digital dash model, straight 4 door with a 3.0, The car only has 30,000 miles, and a JVC sterio. I am a mechanic and have the snap-on diagrams but they are not to good. Any ideas? Thank You Mike
Answer Hi Mike,
I am a bit confused because of fuse numbering. My shop manual shows that courtesy lights are powered by #13 under the dash. #2 is a circuit breaker for the power windows, as shown in my manual.
Or are you referring to a fuse in the power box? Those are numbered by a circuit contact id number so maybe lets agree to call #1 the fuse nearest the fender and go from there. #2 in the power box powers #3,21,22 under the dash. Have you tried to measure the current draw thru the battery while individually removing the fuses in the power box? And which ones cause a significant drop in the "draw" when you remove it?
Roland
