Battery Drain Again (Sorry)
Discussion
I have finally got round to checking my Chimaera batt. drain, fuse by fuse; following advice to my previous post.
(Not so easy for a pensioner and in the cold !!)
The total drain is about 180mA (i.e enough to empty a fully charged 60Ah battery in a couple of weeks !!).
Almost all current (150mA) is thro fuse #6 which I believe is the feed to 'Alarm & Hazard Lights'.
Further small reduction with fuse #10 also out (Dash Lights + Clock).
Drain almost zero with Fuses 6, 10 & 9 (Ign feed + Fuseboard Relays) all out.
So, my problem appears to be associated with the Alarm unit.
Has anybody had similar? I assume my next step is to remove dash, then the alarm unit and send to a specialist ??
Would greatly appreciate any advice/observations though, still not gained much confidence in tacking these brutes.
Many thanks Harry
