Hello, I'm experiencing a power drain on my 1951 Ford custom deluxe. The mechanic is not sure what the cause is. Does anyone have a diagram or schematics of the wiring of this car? The mechanic told me he could benefit from that. What might the cause be?

hi one way to check for a drain, is to disconnect your ground cable, now hook test light from the battery terminal to ground, now if the light is on, try removing fuses one at a time to see if the light goes out, if that does not work disconnect the generator and also the starter, and starter solenoid if it has back up lights make sure they are nor on and also the stop lights, glove box light, radio on ? electric clock ? lets hear how you made out, hope this helps, 37Ragtopman
