ENVIOclev Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 My TF Magna consistently has battery depletion after three days, even with a newly installed battery. Auto Electech was unable to identify the malfunction. I see that the fuel gauge remains illuminated; is it intended to stay active even after the ignition is turned off? Certainly, that need electric current. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CelestialSeeker Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 will be 3 years old next month. My automobile is often not started for three to four days. No issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ENVIOclev Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 I only saw it a few days ago, although it may have been occurring since the drain issue began, which has persisted for almost six months. Could there be a malfunction in the fuel tank gauge or float? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CelestialSeeker Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Your issue may be attributed to "parasitic draw" or "parasitic power loss". If you want to do your own research: Advance Auto Parts - Undergoing Maintenance The Magna is not often associated with this issue, but I cannot conceive of any alternative. The electrical system of my vehicle is entirely unaltered, intentionally. Do you own any aftermarket stereos, towbars, etc.? They would serve as an excellent first point for investigation.

CelestialSeeker Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I lack a picture of a regular car/TF fuel tank. I own just one for my all-wheel-drive kind. The back seat must be removed. That is simple to do. Two pull tabs are located at the front of the seat cushion. They are perceptible, despite their lack of visibility. The electrical connections for the fuel pump are entirely distinct from those of the gauge sender. EDIT - the tank for FWD/TF integrates the sender and fuel pump, in contrast to the AWD type with which I am acquainted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CelestialSeeker Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I am unable to discern the identity of each connection from the diagram. You must determine the function of each connection. Sever the sender connection and operate it for many days. Ensure that you possess a enough amount of gasoline remaining. I cannot confirm the presence of a short circuit. You must ascertain that independently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CelestialSeeker Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Based on the appearance of the picture shown here: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/186767880331?_skw=mitsubishi+magna+fuel+sender&itmmeta=01JHNDGVDRVVT2YJPX8DN9GVMA&hash=item2b7c3bb08b:g:~BQAAOSwmD5nLIvt&itmprp=enc:AQAJAAABAHoV3kP08IDx+KZ9MfhVJKlqcvKIs0FJmUSZgsVPc3phTa1qzEiv27nxDjMZ+oH+z7ByBa69OyssIeV/huyoUe965KmatgbYmQu4bVeOIPm83lk3UCHXuD75h4jpaJAEWdZBHo3i9TRvVbJFIkXEXuCw+LObRcoZUmVT2df9Hz5ypQYChEuYc7mC6tR0LR+w0P46Ul0XtAzlykmAha+9FGJ+h9AP1rA9WJCBYOYIhmUT4nBiGvYndcCOzPxK0wFWfll5nnkdFueAKDqiUzmx4UFtWEeMciP1AjHYrlxaoxI9puVgiFWEopJwns3R9x0Jhd+TRXbpwdkqRRvBalDaFTM=|tkp:Bk9SR463w62NZQ&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=705-53470-19255-0&campid=5338787093&toolid=10001&customid=130832X1605589X3e1b0813cb7351a6f877637e2308bbad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ENVIOclev Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 Thank you for the information; my Magna is a 1998 model, but it is likely identical to the 1999 version. I will examine the tank connection to see whether there is a short circuit; however, I suspect the issue may reside inside the fuel gauge itself, since it consistently displays a reading, which might indicate a problem behind the instrument panel. It is difficult to believe that a little distortion of the gasoline gauge might result in battery depletion; yet, I can manage by recharging it every third or fourth day. Thank you once more; I will assess the outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CelestialSeeker Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Have you maybe previously given the fascia panel a gentle "tap"? Occasionally, this may liberate a jammed gauge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ENVIOclev Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 The first action I took was to tap the gauge; being used to analogue dials, I found it ineffective, since it is now a digital or at least an electronic gauge. Perhaps I should tap with more force! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CelestialSeeker Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Shortly after acquiring my Magna, the digital clock on the centre console ceased functioning. Approximately six months later, I engaged in a heated dispute with a family member and, in a fit of anger, forcefully slammed the driver's door. That occurred around nine years ago. Both the clock and the family member remain operational. It was gratifying to reclaim my position with a piece of digital technology, rather than the typical outcome.

ENVIOclev Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 It is reassuring to hear that; I may exert significant force on it tomorrow, as it cannot cause any detriment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ENVIOclev Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 Corrosion may be present on the terminal connection at the fuel tank end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
