battery drain

[oldnick]

PROGRESS !

in the boot fuse box is a fuse for what is described as radio telephone loudspeaker ; remove that and the drain drops to under 50 mA !!!
don't have a telephone , might have been an analogue fitted as OE I suppose , now removed

not quite sure what runs from this fuse , so checked radio , doesn't work without fuse , so put fuse back .......CD stack in boot resets as it always does when you connect the battery ! so clearly that is included ; so unplugged that , not the problem because the drain figures stay exactly the same

so it looks like the drain comes either from something left over from the telephone days [ if there were any ] or something powering loudspeakers [ which I don't understand ]

m'aidez or mayday if you prefer
