Title: EGI fuse battery drain
Post by: Jovic82 on May 09, 2010, 03:55:38 PM
i seem to be getting a flat battery really quickly (week) and have checked the alternator which is showing 14.5v when running etc so seems okay. battery is brand new and been checked aswell.

i also done the elimination (pulling fuses out) to check any draw on the battery and the one that is drawing 37 milliamps is the egi fuse on the fuse box right next to the battery. the car has no alarm or anything that should be on when the car is locked so any ideas what could be causing this draw and where to start?

cheers

found this but does anyone know how to test each individual wire to see where the drain is coming from.  Unfortunately my skills with a multimeter do not stretch that far......



cheers
