Voltage Drain?
#3
Thanks OPT.....I have an new OEM regulator already on unit....I still .11 voltage drain and I unplug new oem regulator the drain goes away...I could have an bad new oem regulator....Do you know the correct way to test regualtor with ohm meter...I did the normal test an both shows the same reading....I put red lead on dc pos. terminal and blk on ac terminal to test readings and do this test on ALL terminal of ac and change leads on pos lead to neg lead an do all ac terminal then trade dc lead to ground and test all ac lead and trade pos lead on ground leg of regulator and test all ac... AND all test reads zero...

Batteries can charge and show great voltage even with a weak or open cell,but may not be able to hold that charge.Load testing just eliminates the battery itself as a problem on it discharging. This can be confused with a voltage drain.If the battery load tests good,connections/grounds are tight but still has a voltage drain,then check into other components that can be causing it.

20 amp circuit breaker on the harness leading to the fuse box. Should be power on each side of the red wires leading in and out of the sealed pouch. If not,slice the pouch open and check the terminals. May be corroded or blown. Can get these at any auto supply for a few bucks.Item #6 on the break down.

I have had a few Polaris ATV's do this ( not a RZR )....power draw that is. I never figured out the exact reason for the draw, but found that just by turning the ignition key to "off", the draw was still there. The draw went away on these machines when the handlebar "kill" switch was moved to the kill position. Customers thought that was good enough, didn't want to spend the bucks for more troubleshooting.
