After discovering the reason why my car battery kept dieing, a massive draw on my car battery coming from my IOD (Ignition off Draw) fuse, i was able to start my car reliably once again! However, without this fuse, my turn signals will not work. Is there an easy way to get my turn signals working without having to take out and put back the fuse every time i want to start my car???
instead of fixing the problem by removing the fuse I would find the actual problem and fix it. Then you could reinstall the fuse and your turn signals would work.
First I gotta ask this. No offense to you since I don't know you nor do I kow your technical skills. When you are measuring this draw, do you have your meter connected in SERIES with the negative side with it set to Amps setting? Also, are you allowing the vehicle to power down, most cars will hold a certain amperage draw for a few minutes, up to 10-20 minutes which is normal. Are you allowing for this draw not chasing a ghost? FOR INSTANCE, GM vehicle with Onstar, they want you to wait 20 minutes for Onstar to power down or Go To Sleep so to speak. When you track down the source by removing the fuse, you have to actually go find the source fix it. Not leave the fuse out. This is where factory manuals come in handy to have. That way you can see what all that fuse feeds so you can go to that component unplug it directly see if your draw goes away with the fuse back installed.
