    Short circuit in car

    John, I really appreciate your help on this matter. Can you elaborate more on the reason behind disconnecting the alternator? What does it mean if the drain stops after disconnecting the alternator?

    Short circuit in car

    John, thanks for the method provided, I have never thought about measuring current. But in my case, I think the drain of power from the battery is quite obvious. Before the electrical system suddenly broke down last week, I have been constantly running the car through motorway. As there have...

    Short circuit in car

    There was no power getting anywhere, not even the window or central locking. So I guess the problem should be a wider electrical issue? Sorry for the confusion.

To provide more context, the resistance between the two terminals (with battery disconnected) was just 0.05 in a 200 Ohm setting, which seems a bit low. And after disconnecting the connector in the fuse box and putting back the battery...

I did some tests with my multimeter and found that there was continuity between the positive terminal and negative terminal of the...
