Battery constanly going flat?

(1/4) > >>

Reggieroo:
My classic has been off the road for a few months having some work done & now that I've got it back the battery constantly goes flat over night.

Its had a new battery on it recently & I've even put another spare one on to see if its that. Its still going flat so I know its not the battery.

It must be a drain of some sort...........but whats causing it?

It had a drain before & that turned out to be the stereo wired up to the ignition permanent live but that was sorted out.

I'm thinking there maybe a common problem that I don't know about & hopefully you guys that know, can give me some advise on what it maybe.

what work has it had done to it? as this may be the cause

and have you checked the interior lights are not staying on (switch in wrong position)

ukmudmaster:
If you diconnect  the + on the battery and put a voltmeter across the leads, this will tell you if you have a drain, and again when you think you have found it,
Good luck!

It was just wielding work that was done & nothing apart from some LPG earths were disconnected while the work was being done.

I did notice the interior lights stayed on for longer than normal (about 10 Min's or so) when I first started driving it but eventually went off which I thought was strange.
I even checked they weren't on when I parked it up for the night but the battery was still flat in the morning.

Does you car have EAS? or did it have in the past.  Tne EAS is always monitoring the road wheel heights and trying to correct any sagging.
