Battery is draining in a day and unable to start so checked the draw yesterday and its pulling 3.5A which is way too much.
Pulled all the fuses and relays but no changes, even the PITA board by the rear light. 2 things made the amps drop and that was removing the 75A midi fuse on the +ive battery post and pulling the plug on the bottom right side if the internal fuse box which has a large red and black cable going to it so I guess its powering something fairly major. No mention of this is the owners manual.
Any ideas what this could be? Sorry didn't take a picture.
It on trickle charge now so at least its being topped up but need to get this sorted. I'm going to change the 3 midi fuses on the battery post but doubt this will cure the problem.
