Battery dying
35

Asked by military Jan 22, 2017 at 02:20 PM about the 1965 Ford F-100

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I own a 1965 f-100 and I recently put power brakes
on it and now something is draining on my battery, I
can't figure out the source because all I did while
changing my brakes was unhook the pressure
switch for the brake lights, but they have been
hooked back up and something is still drawing in on
my battery, I checked the fuses and it's
Not running through there, and I'm not good with
electrical, so I'm very confused at what could be
drawing on my battery

After putting back on the brake light switch did you happen to look at the brake lights to make sure they were not on? May be the brake light switch needs adjusting.
