New Member - Current Drain & Fuse info

Post by Lightupyrday »

Hi, I'm from 'Down Under' in New Zealand, (Middle Earth) I was an extra in 'The Hobbit' because I'm 5' 5" LOL

I have a 1997 Largo that is not used often and the battery goes flat over a few weeks. I was looking for info on the Fuses to identify constant current drain.

Cheers,,, :D

The starter motors wear and pull loads of current on start up, also check the regulator on the alternator is supplying 14v to the battery.

Thanks Hutch, The starter is fine and the charging current is OK as it takes the Battery to 14.4V. But there is a constant drain even when the vehicle is standing locked and all the doors are closed. Some current will be the clock and memory in the radio, but I wonder if the electric servo in the sliding door may sometimes stick in the 'ON' state? I really am trying to get some schematics and fuse location in English, not Japanese. I have looked online for schematics, I have a full service manual for the Maxima A32 and A33 (1996-2001) which is similar, but the Fuse panels are different.

Thanks Dalesman and thank you too Greenday, I have checked those items but it always good to have a reminder.

@ MrFish85, thanks so much for that info, it appears it is in the ACC circuit and could be the HiFi system backup clock. I am an electronic engineer, but it's frustrating not to have data as chasing wires throughout a vehicle is very hard on the neck muscles LOL.

Thanks again you guys,

Warren

Oh wow that is very cool - which scenes were you in? Got any stills to show us? :)
