hello to all MRC
im still having problems with my FD... its all fixed now with the Boost problem.. but now having this problem with the battery, charged over night and put back in to car then the car will start but left for 1 night and try start again in the morning its dead.. anyone share some light with me?
year is 1995.
could it be the battery losing chare and is need of new battery? but the thing is that it looks really new..
Water level in battery, I bet its dry as a bone
i changed the battery to a new battery but its still running flat...
i also took the headunit out to see if it still drain the power.... i really cant see where its coming from.. i traced all the wiring loom and found someone before has bridge a few wires as i can see some cuts... but i have already sorted the cut and repaired it all... cant see any other cuts or bridged cables....
really starting to annoye me now...
Check the diode alternator pack.
( A simpler test for this will be to unplug the alternator and see if it still discharges over night.
Does the starter turn over as strongly as before ( when battery charged ) ?
Again maybe a problem with the windings in it.
Walk the fuse box removing fuses and see if you can identify which one is NOT discharging the battery :) This is a very long task and better done with a bulb between the battery and power lead and then you can see which fuse when pulled makes the bulb go out. Clearly a proper meter is even better, but old-school can work if not available.
i went to see the car today at my friends garage and been working on it for most of the day... got some bad news... we still aint found why its making the battery run flat... but where the wiring loom plugs in to the ECU, it has had loads of cut cables and been tring to sort this out... just dunno why its got soo many cable attached thats not even needed...
anyone here can help me with fault codes from diagnostic ?? i got a code
im starting to lose it now...
If you can get a hold of a multimeter with amps on it then disconnect the negative cable from the battery and with the ignition off and all doors closed put one probe from the meter on the negative post on the battery and the other on the disconnected cable, if its drawing current pull fuses as Competition PZ said until you find the circuit thats got the drain.
Does it have a alarm with auto closing windows.
