Battery help please?

[Meow69guy]

Hey guy! I'm brand new to this site and I'm in love with 240's!
As of right now I own drive and work on my 92 s13 vert.
Its a pain in my ass but I still love it. The last 2-3 days I have been trying to start my car for the first time of the day and no power at all! Never before has it done this to me. and I just bought a brand new battery last week. I am in the middle of prepping my car for paint, I have takin all the lights like markers and tails off of my car but thats all I have really done with wiring.. any ideas please? thanks guys!

have you checked grounds?

Yea, I moved some wires around nothing seems to be grounding out. I got my car without the fuse guide by the clutch pedal..

I'd be checking for a major draw on the system. One of the quick/dirty ways to find and eliminate the circuit causing the draw, is to remove the negative battery terminal, place a test light between that terminal and the battery, and then remove fuses one by one until you see the light (draw) go out. This helps pinpoint major drains and saves you headaches of chasing wires all over.

I'll make sure to try that! Thanks for your help I'll let you know if that fixes it! I was thinking about doing a battery turn off switch any thoughts on that?

Just fix it right, man!

I'd start with the audio/stereo wiring. That's usually where someone half asses wiring just to get their "phat beats" rattling the trunk in hurry. I always find a wire back in there that has the electrical tape missing because someone was too lazy to use heat shrink. There or behind your speakers. Good luck.

Sooo I fixed it! hah I love being low! My tire rubbed though the housing and the wires them selfs.. copper on copper. So I fixed them up and kinda tucked them the best I could. Hope that fixed it! Thanks for the help guys!
