Hi everyone,
a month ago in a not so cold morning my battery gave me up. After a
jump start and topping up with some water it was doing well for some
time a few weeks (thanks God), but nothing lasts forever. Anyway a
few day ago the same occure again and this time before realising
that the real problem is the battery I though is up to charging it
properly. It happens as i learnt evetually the battery is gone
(does'nt hold the charge any more and drops to 10.2 V for a night).
So the problem I have is that when I was trying to find out what is
wrong I discovered that there is a permanent drain of the battery
0.15 Amp. The current goes via shunt in the fusebox on the RH side
of the battery under the bonnet and from there a relay clicks every
time when I connect or disconect the battery or pull out/push in
the bridging bracket left side between the 30 amp fuses { 30 [ 30
30, [ [ [ 30 }. The relay is located in the eng side behind the
glovebox, along with two more relays sitting on the top of a metal
box which I believe(rather suspect only) to be the ECU. The relay
itself with ignition key out does not do anything else (or at least
it appears so to me) than empowering fuses 10, 13 and 14. With the
relay or the bridge out the only affected system seems to be the
rear electr windows. Haynes fuse 10 is for the windows, 13 spare(
what is realy doing then) and 14 for ABS which in I don't have.
SO THE QUESTION IS:
Is it normal the relay I described above to be pulling so much
current (0.15 Amp) and what is its mission at all and whether this
my affect my new battery?
In haynes everything is a bit muddy (esp the electrics look like to
be enigma for the authors as well)+ the model I have is not so
clearly stated at all.
Thanks to all
Zak
