Hello I recently bought a delorean and have discovered an annoying problem.
I noticed my courtesies lights were off one day so checked the fuse and it
was blown. I tried replacing the fuse but it would only last for a few days
and then pop again. Foolishly I put another fuse in two days ago and drove
it to work. After work I noticed that the courtesies lights were again off
so I checked the fuse. the fuse was intact this time so I was confused until
I tried to start the car. My battery was drained!!!!!
So I have concluded that I have a short to ground somewhere in the wiring for the courtesies. THe battery had enough power to pop the fuse, but as I kept replacing the fuse, the battery drained a bit more every time and the final time it didnt have enough power to pop the fuse so it just sat there and drained.
So my questions are thus: Does my conclusion sound accurate? Has this ever happened to anyone else? Where do you think the short may be?
Thanks, Adam 16683 two-tone interior
