[QUOTE="52merc, post: 15433463, member: 197"] [b]Thanls for the post[/b] I have had my '01 Cobra since new and had no problems with battery drain for many years. Just last year I had to get a battery tender for the winter storage period or the battery would die (used to last all winter and fire right up in the spring). Starting about 2 months ago, if I let the car sit for more than a week....dead battery. After an exhaustive but systematic check of the electrical system I found the culprit to be the passenger side Mach 460 amp. Removed it from the car and opened it up. Sure enough, resistor R808 was badly burnt and R807 was slightly burnt. I was figuring I'd have to take the other amp apart to find out what resistance it was so I could replace it. Then I found this post using a Google search. Great info and I want to thank you. I'm going to see if I can replace the resistors and get it to stop "leaking" current. The amp was still functioning when I had this problem. What I really want to know is if the change to the larger wattage solved the problem and is your amp still working? Should I consider making the same change to the other amp as a preventative measure? [/QUOTE]
