Well I have two problems, one of which is not a very big deal. The second is driving me nuts.

The first problem is that I seem to be missing a connector in my driver's side fuse block. It is the fuse for day time lights but what is curious is that my running lights still work just fine. How do I go about replacing the missing connector?

The second problem is a constantly dead battery. I have replaced it, had the alternator checked, had my janky stereo professionally rewired and I can't figure out the problem.

The only symptom besides the dead battery is that every once in a while my tail and interior lights go out. When the fuse is out the battery doesn't die(right now my dash lights are out and the battery still died).

What do you guys think? Any help would be much appreciated.

P.S. I have one of those 6-12 volt circuit testers but I can't check for any load with a dead battery:bash:


Edit
I just went in my garage and found my running lights on and working. They were definitely not working when I originally made the thread.

WTF would draw enough power to make it appear that the battery was dead then just quit?
