Ok..My car was sitting up for a while and the old batter was dead. Ok so I bought a new one. I have car in my friends garage, and he told there was a clicking noise and that could be the problem of the something draing my battery..any ideas??

Power antenna perhaps ?

You may need to start pulling fuses one at a time to help you by process of elimination.

Thanks for the information..anymore ideas?

So you think is a fuse for the antenna perhaps ? I left one thing out..Like I said it was sitting up and when I started it up the antenna come up..when I changer the battery it did not work..any ideas?

The C4 is made up of several different circuits. One method of isolation I recently read about began with pulling the fusible links, one at a time as a preliminary way to quickly "zero in" on the offending circuit. (In the case of a "clicking" relay, you can listen for the sound to stop. Otherwise, a VOM configured to read AMPERES might be the best way to monitor current. [But, note: Most VOMs are limited to measuring 10A max. If it is a current drain that runs the battery down over night, then the drain isn't likely to be exceed 10A. But, for higher currents, shunts or other methods are required.])

Then goto the appropriate fuse panel and start pulling individual fuses to further narrow the individual circuit.

You DO have an FSM, right?

My rear hatch was clicking when my switch was cracked, it was sticking open.
