[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 93129, member: 82"] That isn't always true. It may generate power when running, but if a diode is bad it will draw power when the machine is turned off. They need power to excite the core, when you start the engine. To rule the alternator out, remove the power cable from it and the excite wire too. See if it changes anything. Another member has given advise of how to find power drains by removing a battery terminal and putting a 12v test lamp between the two connectors. Remove fuses till the light goes out. [/QUOTE]
