    249D Parasitic drain

    Took apart the left side, removed the fuse, disconnected the ignition switch. installed the fuse and tested for the parasitic drain with the test light, sorry forgot to use the meter. Light stays on monitor and ECM were connected. So that means the monitor, right?

    Why test light when you has multimeter?-For me i am more comfortable with the light. Remember, i am not you guys. I am not confident. I will try to use it more I installed the fuse. ECM disconnected. the test light shines bright and constant. I guess that means i need to 1. put the ECM...

    249D Parasitic drain

    Maybe i misread post 79, i thought i was to have the fuse removed. I will go retest. But, right now with the fuse removed-which means the monitor is not in play, and the ECM disconnected. I do have the test light still lighting momentarily. Is this a flag?

    I unplugged the Machine ECM. With the monitor fuse removed. See pict I then, with my test light, again checked for the drain. The same thing happens with the test light. If i keep the ground of the test light connected to the negative cable, then put the point of the test light on a...

    The ECM, that is the part shown in post 13, where the arrow labeled 44 is? Will do this next: "remove the fuse again, but this time unplug the engine ECM and repeat the test with the Monitor disconnected. If you get no test light at all then reconnect the Monitor and repeat with the engine...

    I took off this plug connector, installed the fuse and checked for a parasitic drain. The test light flashed very fain and quick and that was it. No consistent light. So i guess that means its the monitor?

    249D Parasitic drain

    OK. I am excited that we are getting somewhere. I am now starting to feel a bit over my head, but last time that happened, i found the potential problem. So i need to take my time and take the proper panels off to access these harnesses. I know inside the cab, right side. I see the...

    249D Parasitic drain

    It is this one, I think 104? (the fuse is visible right at the top of your photos) YES IT IS I dont doubt you but is this the schematic? and which wire is it because i dont see 105-c41 RD14? once i -(or you O) identify which wire-you want me to install a new lead rom the fuse to the back...

    249D Parasitic drain

    Upon your suggestion, i decided to disconnect wires and see where the draw is. I connected my test light on long leads as i have before to show a parasitic drain and laid under the cab in its raised position. Behind the seat, In the area of the fuses shown as #6, 7, 8, & 9 shown in post 40, 41...

    I did have the alternator disconnected previously I just went through the whole machine and wiggled as many wires as i could while someone watched the meter. No luck. i feel i am at the end of my talent abilities. If i bring this to CAT, do they have a computer they hook this up to so they...
