Electrical continues

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.
