Hi everyone, I'm having a battery draw down issue on my 516-H equipped with a factory electric lift for the deck/snow blower. I connected an ice pick/alligator clip trouble light between the negative battery post and the ground cable. It glows! I then began removing circuits until the light no longer glowed. The only circuit that had an effect( made the light go out) was when I removed the electric lift relay from it's holder. Upon doing so ,the light the light immediately went out. I tested the relay with a multi meter and it seems to be good. I then replaced the momentary up/down switch thinking it might be feeding the relay NC circuit some current. No change. The electric lift wiring harness has a lead going directly to the pos. battery terminal. It also has a lead to the negative battery terminal. As soon as I connect the negative ground wire I can hear a slight "click" as the wire touches the neg battery post bolt connector. I have not been able to find the manual for the electric lift. I have seen photos of the same lift here on the forum from time to time. Don't know the brand. If I remove the relay the electric lift relay battery holds its' charge just fine? Any suggestions? thank you!
