Re: 1984 Voltswagen Rabbit Prius Gen 3 ZOMBIE

Just taking a swing... A capacitor is a load, yes. But when it charges up it stays charged. A light bulb is also a load, but it is continuous. So it's constantly draining the power.

I was going to use the start position of my ignition switch to enable drive, but in my car the Ign pos 1 and 2 are disconnected from the battery when I do. Probably to ensure the starter gets 100% of battery power but I was disappointed when I discovered this as it caused issues else where. It's no...
