[revid]

I have a 2003 honda trx 350 fourtrax and theres aomething killing my battery.I tried unplugging lights and ignition but doesn't seem to help.Is there a way to test to see if what could be doing it.

What kind of condition is the battery itself in? If it's old or has been dead for a while it might need replacing. On the other hand you could have a ground somewhere and your gonna hate what you have to do in this case. Trace all the wiring and see if any insulation is missing off any of the wires. Very time consuming and very boring but it might be a road you have to travel on.

no its a new battery,the short or what ever killed the last battery and had to have it replaced .The cells wouldn't take the charge anymore.

bummer, my guess is you got a ground somewhere on one of the positive wires. Your gonna have to try and trace them all out and see what kind of condition they're in. You might want to consider unhooking your battery between uses until you get this fixed so you don't drain (and ruin) another battery.....just a thought.


Hmmmm....post #300!!!! Just had to throw that in lol
