A 1989 buick electra park avenue with a battery drainage problem. I think i have located the culprit but not the exact source. When the engine is off after running awhile, what i think is a compressor of sorts is engaging. It runs for 5 to 7 second intervals. I thought it may be the cooling fan but im not sure what it is. I have looked fordiagrams to find the component name but have had no verifiable success.

It is located behind the Left headlight (drivers side). I can only guess that it is a compressor for the fuel to air mixture for the injectors I also have a problem with the heater. it doesnt seem to want to operate in our North Dakota cold-it only operates (or whispers) on low. This seems to me a resistor module problem. but could it be ECM and could the two be related through a faulty ECM how can i figure it out Hi, Glad to be of help. When looking for shorts or components with current draw, the best and quickest way to find the culprit is to hook up a volt meter between battery negative cable and battery post. Start pulling fuses inside and under hood one by one until voltage drops below. 3 volts. If no luck with fuses, pull relays and disconnect componets that have power at all times such as alternator. Most of the time a cooling fan relay is the problem but could be ignition switch or something else. It`s not the ECM. Do you have an air ride system with air compressor If you have ABS brakes, this may be your problem. The only cheap thing to replace on these is the relay, otherwise may be looking at replacing the whole ABS unit. Hope this is not your problem. The heater problem is most likely the blower relay located on passenger side under dash near heater box. I discovered it was not the relay by way of replacement. awaiting shipment of a resistor module for replacement. otherwise the motor will need replacing due to...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
