amps too high
Ok, so i was looking further into the battery drain. I also made a post of clubrsx regading how constant current can be running in the car while its off whithout drianing the battery. I was told no more than 0.07a. Anything more and it will drian your battery.
So, i finally ended up getting a multimeter that reads amp. I set it to 10a on the multimeter, disconnect the negative terminal on my battery. Put the black end of the multimeter to the negative terminal i just removed and the red end of the multimeter to the battery terminal.
When i do this it will tell me the amount of current amps and i'm reading 1.87a.
It was late and didn't have much time to check, but i did take out the two fused in my power distro block for the dsatx and amp and the amps didn't go down. I even removed the main fuse by my battery and the amps didn't go down. Weird becasue i wasn't having a draining issue until i installed the carpc.
I do have an alarm and autostart, but the draining wasn't there prior to the carpc. Could a short drain the battery? But if there was a short something wouldn't work or a fuse would be blown.
Any suggestions? Not exactly sure what else in the car would be on in order to receive this amount of current while the car is off.
