I'm on the final leg (hopefully) of a rebuild, Series III 88".

When I striped I labeled all the wiring from behind the vast dash, on refit its become aparent that the lighting, heater, inspection light socket etc are all live whithout the ignition being on, I hadn't noticed before as I only drove from where I purchased before the strip.

There's no drain, I just find it a little odd, is this normal?

hobbit:
Lighting and inspection socket yes normally live, but the heater normally on ignition.

If you are worried you can always fit a battery isolator switch that will kill everything

bezzabsa:
same here my heater is operational regardless of ignition.. real pain when you get out and think " whats that noise" before you realise its the heater fan

hobbit:
Easy enough to re-wire though, just need to move a wire off one connection in the fuse box to one next to it, on the steering column

CanIBeFrank:
hobbit when you get a min could you expand a little  :shock:
