Finaly found the battery in my car after a year of not knowing where it was.
in the quest to find a window control fuse (or in my case the circuit breaker) which is under my back seat, i found my battery as well.
But after making a couple jumper leads and putting the circuit breaker to them. i found that the driver side window, going up and down draws an amp more than the passenger window.
Since i had the battery out now too i decided to do a load test on my battery, which by how clean it was, it was a false assumption that it was a good battery. when i tested it it had 12.4 volts (by all accounts, is a dead battery in itself) When you load test you need half the cold cranking amps ( CCA) for 15 seconds. When i did this, it fell on its face, falling straight down to low 7 and high 6 volts.
So need a new battery for my car.
Until next time, i leave you with this.

Begining of Fall Quarter.
Started on Tuesday and everyday except friday i was there 8 till 2:30 and on friday i left at 12:30.
Anyway worked on the lighting board with a couple others and we where able to wire the whole board up with the turn signals, brake lights, and reverse light. couldn't get the high beams working because of a faulty switch on the board itself.
And working on my own 2003 Bonnaville and trying to track down why the driver window is slower than the passenger window.
Best guess is its age and the driver window was probably used about 3 times more than the passenger window.

almost done with summer quarter
So got my hours i needed for this quarter, 310 hours. on thursday, myself and Tommy (the other worker in the shop) started pulling the axle out from under a 16 ft moving truck because we determined that it was out of alignment.
And thanks to Jeff, the String and Tape Measure was the first thing we tried. And Andy was impressed with how quick we could determine that it being out of alignment was the problem with it.
So now on Monday we are getting the new pins for the axle to the leaf spring and will get it corrected
