0.52 amp parasitic draw! Posted by Jason 5W-30 [Email] ![]() ![]() |
Hi all,
I noticed the battery in my car would discharge rapidly and in checking for current draw with the ignition off, I found a 0.52 amp parasitic draw!
I checked all the circuits with the method found here:

and none of the circuits showed any excessive current draw.
From my research, it could be failed diodes in the alternator, what do you guys think?
I'll try testing the diodes tomorrow as per this video:

What's the best option for a rebuilt alternator, one of those rebuilt Bosch units?
Thanks,
Jason
