I relocated my battery not all that long ago but I seem to be having an issue with the way I have it wired, even if the switch is off the battery is getting drained? Here is how its wired
1. 2 awg wire from the battery to the switch
2. 2 awg wire from the battery side of the switch directly to the alt
3. 2 awg ground wire to the frame under the trunk connected to a 1 awg ground wire that goes all the way to the block of the car. Other ground strap comes from the other motor mount up to the firewall on the drivers side.
4. 1 awg wire runs from the other side of the switch to the starter relay solenoid on the drivers side fenderwell.
5. fuel pump 12+ also wired to this side of the switch.
The only thing I can come up with is that the wire going to the alt off of the battery side of the switch is draining the battery and through some reading on here and the web I may have wired it incorrectly. I think I was supposed to go to the battery side of the fenderwell solenoid and then run a large wire from there to the alt possibly. Please let me know your thoughts so I can get this thing lined out.
