Amandtot Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Hello peugeot Mecs, My 1985 Peugeot N9T has developed an electrical vampire in it. For the last two months something has been draining the battery at the rate of three- tenths of amp, steadily. Over nite the battery will lose 20% of its charge. If the car is not started for the period of three- four days the battery will completely be discharged. All aux. lights, glove box lic. plate, overheads have been checked to be off. All fuses have been pulled and checked for draw. Nothing. At first I thought its was a bad battery from due to the fact that it went flat and was recharged at least fifteen times. I got Sams Club to give me a new one and the alternator has just been re-built. Tomorrow the car goes to the shop along with the N9T engine manual to start checking the main electrical wires coming off the battery. Again. Please , does anyone have any idea how to solve this problem ? Thank You. Sincerely Carl Gliko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bean Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 The 505 has a power distribution block on the + battery cable. I would check each of the red 8ga wires that go into the block for draw to see if you can isolate from there. I've got the same issue to figure out in a friends 2008 Mustang - so if I figure out any tricks I'll post up here. Rabin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptootsov Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I've got the same thing going on with my '87 505 STX. It could be a bad battery as the Alternator was bad and it may have brought the battery with it. It's been too cold and I've been too busy to spend time on it so I've been resolving it by hooking up the battery charger at night so it's good the next day. Like the OP I checked to make sure all accessories are off. Will start testing draw off the pos lead, Peeter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bean Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Did you have any luck figuring it out? Rabin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
