| Subject: | Battery Cutoff question |
Hi Group
I have a battery cutoff question:
My son's car has a mystery drain that kills the battery in a few days, no one has
been able to locate the drain as of yet.
I purchased a battery switch for the negative terminal. The problem is you can't
get to the negative terminal, but can very easily get to the positive terminal.
Thus want to install the switch on the positive terminal.
Since the positive terminal is larger than the negative I need to enlarge the tapered
hole of the negative switch.
Anyone have any ideas how to enlarge the tapered hole?
The male terminal of the Brass switch needs a tapered adapter that I can make on
lathe.
Thx. Ron P.

Ron - cant help with the switch fitting, but does he by any chance have a socket
for trailer electrics? I had this sort of problem and it was solved when I replaced
the corroded trailer socket.

I have a Ford pickup truck that has been like this for years, I chose to
put a pigtail on the battery and hit it with a trickle charger every week
or so when it is not being used regularly. If you use a battery disconnect
on a recent car, it loses the ECM learned programming and it needs some
amount of time to relearn the drive cycle. This can cause issues with your
catalytic converter over time if it must constantly relearn.
Just my experience, Ed

I would start with removing some fuses first to narrow down the culprit.....

Hello Ron,
Some years ago my son had the same problem with his car battery draining
over a few days when not in use.
The culprit turned out to be the light in the boot (trunk), which was not
turning off when the lid was closed. Because it could not be seen when the
lid was closed, it was some time before we tracked it down and adjusted the
switch.
Good luck with yours!
Regards, Mike

I had battery drainage issue with my old 2002 Toyota a few years ago. Turned out
the starter was bad and would draw down (at rest) the battery gradually.
Might be your problem also. FWIW

Dave L.
