qwakers Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 my p38 has a parasitic battery drain. after settling its a constant 0.53a until i pull maxi fuse 1 when it drops to 0.40a. ive pulled every fuse with no change, have also disconnected alternator and starter. i dont think its the remote transponder as its constant. any ideas?

elbekko Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Which engine and model? Could be an unfused wire shorting to the block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maler Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I had the same thing on mine Turned out to be a wire down by your door under the plastic strip corroded !! Removed said wire and grafted in new piece Mine now sleeps at 0.02 amps No more flat batteries in less than 24hrs Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maler Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 When you pull the plastic strip you'll be surprised how many wires are in there. It took me two days to find the offending wire Feel free to post on here if you have any questions as I check it often during the day If yours in running on lpg also , unplug the lpg ecu and see what amps you're pulling then Good luck with finding the fault Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
