Perhaps you can help me with an electrical problem ? I just bought an 81 jeep CJ7. My battery is being drawn down while sitting in the garage not started. I ripped all the shoody jerry rigged plow lighting, and plow set up wiring off of the jeep I replaced all the exterior bulbs as the turn signals flash at twice the normal rate. I then removed the negative terminal off of the batter and used a volt meter to see if there was a draw on the system by touching one probe of the gauge to the negative terminal of the battery and the other to the hanging battery terminal clamp and had a reading of 12.67 volts. That's telling me that something is drawing on the system constantly, correct ?? I have an inkling that my problem is associated with the lights, but don't know how to proceed any further. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Also, one last thing, there are two extra wires that seem to be associated with the lights attached to the remote starter solenoid. the draw goes away once i remove one of them, but the lights won't work then.
