My 89 fullsize bronco 302, keeps draining the battery and I dont know why. Ive changed the battery, alt and starter. But Im not to sure but it seems lyk the starter keeps turning but im not 2 sure. Could it be the sillinoid killing the battery? Or the sillinoid keeping the starter turning while its running? The battery meter in the truck just goes down when I drive it or use the radio or heat and that. Could you help I dont kow what else to do ha. Thanks

Hi there,

Start with getting the alternator charge rate checked and the batter load tested, also make sure all battery terminals are clean and tight, start here.

We are having the same problem. We have checked the alternator and got a new battery. Terminals are clean and tight and still having the same problems.
