So I have done the remote PMD, good to go there, but still get battery drainaige (low voltage on gage) while running, and it just kills batteries when not run daily. I pulled off the passenger side battery cable and ohmed it to ground and found it shorted. Easy fix right bad seloniod on starter. I was wrong too. Starter was fine, so cut the little wire going outbound from the battery and ohmed it to ground and sure enough 2 ohms. I suspect this is my issue but according the Chilton it goes to the ignition. WTF it's a deisel no distributor or coil.... so are they talking about he ignition switch or possibly the glow plug controller? Where do I go from here?

Oh '94 Chev Sub, 6.5TD. any help will be appreciated.

 

You still have an ignition in a sens. You have a shut of solenoid, fuel pump, glow plugs and a million other things that are hooked to the battery and if one of them has a path to ground on constantly your going to drain the battery. This is a hard one to diagnose on here. The only thing I can tell you is to grab your ohm meter and search through things till you find where the path is going. Good luck.

 

I should be able to limit what is isolated and what is not correct. Any ideas on ways to help half step or at least cut the problem into manageable sections?

 

you'll probably have to just replace all the wires, that's what i did when that happened to me.
