| after jumping the battery with that booster thingie this morning i made it to work with no problems. i'm thinking i drove long enough for the alternator to charge the battery enough. wrong-o. i jumped in the car during lunch to go to the grocery store and when i try to start it.... nothing again. i was thinking wtf? luckily i had the booster thingie with me so boost started the car and decided to go to autozone and let them hook up the hand analyzer to see what was wrong with my piece of crap car. battery is good but low. alternator seems to be charging the battery properly.... but. haha... there's always a "but". the analyzer says that i have a key on problem. the dude running the analyzer didnt know what that meant. i figured i have a short in the system somewhere that was causing my battery to drain. i go grocery shopping for 30 mins and as i go try to start the car again.... dead. man this is really pissing me off. i mean it dies in only 30 mins? when i go back to work i think back to what i have done to the car recently. i tried installing an a/c retrofit kit to convert it from an R12 to a RF134-A freon. maybe the compressor was shorting out? disconnected the a/c switch and go back into work for the rest of the day. after work tried to start the car again.... still dead. wow i'm really pissed at this point. i do a mental check of all the electrical components that can be turned on regardless of the car being "on". radio... checked ok. indoor roof light... ok. checked headlight switch.. thats ok also. lighter... still ok. headlights.... ok. brake lights.... oh oh... problem it seems the brakelight switch was broken at the brake pedal. since i rarely drive at night i didnt notice that when i parked my car, the brake lights remained on thus draining the battery. the switch itself was good but the rubber stopper from the pedal to the switch was broken off. some fancy modification with parts laying around at work and duct tape... everything is working again. the guy that invented duct tape should be awarded the nobel peace prize. lolz. aight have a good one everybody. laterz | ||
