I have a 1999 Mazda sting 1300 hatchback and the battery drain is .98amps battery flat within 3 days if I pull the 40 AMP BTN fuse the current drops to .04 amps what to do next and where should I go I don't find a wiring diagram for power distribution circuit can someone help or give suggestions.

Diagnosing A Car Battery That Runs Down

www.aa1car.com/library/battery_runs_down.htm

There may be a fusable link that looks like a wire. It can burn out and show no signs of failure.

there are several reasons...not enough cells in a weak battery(not enough cold cranking amps in battery to turn the car over). Check your alternator as well. Does the temperature drop? Sounds like you need a new battery(also when you turn off your car- TURN OFF EVERYTHING...sometimes a radio, or something not turned off(even a trunk light, interior light, security system(various things)- can zap the juice from your battery overnight or within hrs.-leaving not enough to start the car the next day....Hope that helps....Xx, Jasmine

remove negative cable from battery, hook up a test light to the negative terminal. opposite end to negative on battery. start pulling fuses, when the light on tester goes out. thats the bad curcuit that is draining battery. wait about 3 minutes before pulling fuses. Good-Day!

It sounds like something is drawing current 24 hours a day. When driving, the alternator keeps everything working. After you turn off the car, the battery is being drained by a short. The short can be anywhere, wiring harness, electrical connection points, etc. Have a mechanic check the current draw on the battery when the car is not running. It should draw a very small amount of current to keep the clock working. This will prove or disprove a electrical short. It is much harder to find the short. It can be expensive to fix if it takes hours to track down the problem. I would give the mechanic a time limit for diagnosing the problem to limit your out of pocket expense. There is nothing wrong with the battery or alternator. If they cannot find the problem within a reasonable amount of time. Trade in the car and buy another one. You do not want to spend thousands of dollars in repairs on a 12 year old car or a car with over 120,000 miles. I know you already put a lot of money in your car. Sometimes it is better to take your losses now than to keep putting more and more money into a car that is nearing the end of its useful life.

Telly three things usually cause this,1, heated windows or mirrors,ur radio/disk player last but not least do u have an alarm system this draws a lot all shud stop when u turn key off but some times it doesn't......hope this helps u.

As 4 wiring diagram go on google type in your model make and down load one

Go back to the alternator for the problem as it is connected directly to the battery via the cable. Alternators charge rate is 14.5 to 15.5 volts and if it is only 13.8 volts then that is battery voltage for a good battery and this means that the alternator is not charging which indicates a diode has failed and discharging the battery

drain is hard to find it could be a short or a component is staying on. you need an amp meter and hook it up between your battery negative terminal and the negative battery cable.turn the key off and check how many amp is the drain make sure all the lights and doors are closed, dont crank the car with amp meter on it will burn the meter. take each fuse out at a time which ever fuse drops the amps down by pulling it out is causing the drain. find what that fuse is for. check that component and the wiring on it for any shorts.

The 60amp fuse probably is in the circuit between the alternator and the battery. Which would be why the battery is not getting charged.
Someone would need to check for a short in the wiring between the alternator and the battery.

I have done this before, put about a 10 amp charger on the battery. Pull the courtesy light fuse first. Look at the battery charger, it is probably charging several amps, pull one fuse at a time. When the charging amps drops down you found the fuse the controls the problem. I had a car several years ago that someone pulled the seat belt all the way out, somehow it was pulling a load and draining the battery overnight.
