carlosbeldia Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Tonight I went to check some tools in the Defender and found the battery was completly discharged. Checking things, finnaly found the fuel pump relay was hot and fuel filter, fuel pipes and battery were warm. Car was parked during 6 hours with the fuel pump running all the time. I suppose this is a faulty relay, but it's not supposed when I take the key off everything electric goes down? I've been off roading kind of hard during last 3 days, one with a meter- deep wading, in case this can be a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangy35 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Was there water under the seat where the relays are. The relay could have got stuck in the closed position and did not de-energise when the ignition switch was turned off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosbeldia Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 the relay that was stucked was the one in the fuse box in front of the gearbox. there was water in there. I tried another relay and everything seems ok. as soon as I connect the old one, fuel pump sounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
