hi guys,

my battery is still being drained ( 2001 Chevy Tahoe )

i think it may be the ignition switch. my friend told me to sit in the car and shut it off, after like 30 seconds my gas , oil and voltage gauges all move up. if i stick the key in the ignition they go down but within seconds go right back up.

does this sound like the ignition switch, any ideas ? can this be what is killing my battery?

thank you guys soo much in advance

 

Do you have any aftermarket amps for your radio? Take the big fuse out of the power cable and see if that helps. or if your alternator has a quick release plug try unplugging it, on the older models there is a diode in the alt, if it goes bad then it lets the alt stay on even when the key isn't and it will back feed through the wires and keep your whole IGN on. check that...

 

thanks for the tip i will check that today, if u have any other ideas please feel free to suggest them

thank you
