I have an odd problem I need to bounce off the brain trust.
I am just about finished with my full rebuild of my 66' Charger. I rebuilt the dash, body and engine wiring harness... replaced every wire with new color and trace matching wire. No fuses installed yet. All switches in the off position so there should be no power flow.
I noted that when I connected the battery, I got a small spark. What??? Yea... a small spark like a light was on. Disconnected the battery and chased ground around the car and found my wiper switch has a power leak some how. Not a lot but just enough to heat wire but enough to drain a battery over a few days.
Checking the ohms and I see 0.217 ohms. The wiper switch is original and DAMN... replacing it is expensive.
Suggestions. Any idea are welcom.
