Electrical problem no. 2
What could be draining my battery when the vehicle is not running? I
noticed the dome stays on constantly. I can jump start it and it runs. But last night when I turned off the engine, then shut the headlights off, the head lights started to come back on, but very dimly. I know it sounds like a ghost story, but could a bad head light switch be my culprit. By the way, it is an 86 XJ. Thanks, Greg |
