[QUOTE="gogittum, post: 487761, member: 27114"] Before you do anything else, clean the terminals on the battery. Prob'ly 2/3 of the time that will solve problems. Also, make very sure nothing is turned on when ignition is off.....That <8v puzzles me. Maybe hook a temporary ammeter up to it ?? A similar thing I had about a year ago turned out to be the power supply for a new GPS. I left the old one plugged in all the time and just turned it off at the end of the day. When I installed a new GPS, problems started - that power supply would drain the battery. I know it's solid state and shouldn't do that.....but it did. [/QUOTE]
