went to take my girlfriend to work this morning as her car is down needing a new transmission. battery was dead...took a different car, got back and jumped it.
i have been wanting to install a volt gauge i had sitting around and figured now would be a good time to do it since my battery died out of the blue a couple weeks ago as well, both then and today nothing was left on.
disconnect the battery, wire the gauge to the 75x post, and ground. reconnect battery, and the car starts fine. at a steady 14 or 15 volts.
come back a little later to check on it, and the battery is dead again. with the ignition on it's 9-10 volts. the weird part is that my switchbox only works with the ignition on. the switchbox is the only air component of mine wired directly to the battery, everything else is wired to the ignition, has been this way for over a year without any problems.....WTF?
going to check for a short when my friend brings my voltmeter back in a little bit, but wtf could cause the switchbox which is wired directly to the battery to only work when the ignition is on?
