300 TE Battery Discharge
My wife's '91 300TE recently had a battery discharge problem. I got to the bottom of the problem and thought it might be of help to someone.
The symptoms, besides the dead battery were: 1) Constant 15A battery drain with the key off. 2) Removing fuse "C" decreased current draw to 1A. 3) Removing fuse 9 decreased current draw to 0A. The problem was a short circuit in the tailgate lock actuator position switch. The short circuit burned the insulation on the Yellow/Blk signal wire, the Red/Blk signal wire and the Brown/Blk ground wire. As a temporary repair, I disconnected the position switch and insulated the burned wires. Everything basically works in this condition, however, the tailgate lock will not activate the central locking system or the alarm system. |
