Ok in my car I have double and triple checked everything. I have a main breaker that will kill ALL power to the car, its a 120A phoenix gold manually resetablle circuit breaker. The Haltech is ran staright to the battery through a gang block with a 30A maxi fuse on it.. I flip the breaker and the car is dead as hell after about 2 days of sitting. If I leave the breaker on, and pull the 30A the car is fine. The battery is about 5 days old Anyone else have this happen? Its not a super large deal, I dont drive the car about 2 times a month, but this is kinda annoying

PS I have tested the switched 12V wire and it is turning the haltech off...

Might be a warrantee thing if you cannot find anything. Have you tested to see if the Haltech is drawing a lot of current when the car is off?

i had no problems with that. my E6K doesn't do that. had the car parked for a few weeks went to start it battery had plenty of juice....

Do you happen to have an ammeter or a DMM that can handle current measurement?&nbsp If you can give us an idea of how much current is being leaked, we'd get a better idea of what the culprit is...

Mention it!
I have a drain on my battery as well since putting the Haltech in. I probably did the same dumb thing! Ian

One of my amps was staying on for some reason, the remote on relay in it was bad..

I was a car stereo installer for 12 years, I should have noticed that (slaps self)

Damn, that isn't it for me as I yanked all the amps and speakers...

time to break out the multimeter.

Yeah get a DVM and do an amp test from the neagative of the battery cable to the negative post of the battery. Start pulling fuses , when the draw goes away thats your problem... PS Be sure anything like a dome light that draws current is off.

Make sure that your ignitors aren't wired so they have constant battery power. Similarly, check the positive terminal on the coils for voltage with the key off. These are easy mistakes to make, and will burn up your coils and ignitors if left uncorrected.
