I recently purchased a used 97 exp with a 5.0. The last four mornings my battery has been almost dead. I purchased a new battery and fully charged it, and that didn't help.
I had a friend stop by today and do a couple tests.
He pulled the fuse that powers the memory and the clock and took a reading and got no voltage reading back to ground. We also tested the alternator and it was putting out over 13 volts.
With no power coming back to ground I haven't a clue where to look from there. The only thing I'm wondering is if the previous owner hooked something up directly and not through the fuse box, but I can't find anything.
Anyone with any other ideas?
