electric short on rrc

(1/2) > >>

figgy:
my rrc battery  drained the battery  and would not start .the AA checked it out and found a 5amp current drawing with nothing switched on and ignition off  .iam going to remove the  fuses  and test to  see if i can trace the fault . any one got any tips or had similar problems 

Skibum346:
I once had a 1984 RRC where the wire from the gearbox (reversing switch?) had worn through the insulation. discovered it when rooting around and suddenly releasing the magic blue smoke... exciting when yer hand is stuck up the top of the gearbox I cn tell you!

Might be worth a shot... but it would involve some major surgery to get decent access... removing the centre console and drillinbg out the rivets on the transmission tunnel cover for one.

Good luck otherwise.

Pulling fuses is the best way -you will definitely find it that way.

I had this, and found it was the timer relay for the electric window sticking on -which also allowed the rear wash wipe to work with the ignition off  :roll: I pulled the relay and just remembered to do the windows before I pulled the key out the ignition :)

JIMBOBLY:
well,if its draining over night,then obviously its something that has a permanent live feed,i shouldnt have a look at the wiring on the back of the door switches for the interior light,and the wiring to the red lights in the doors that come on when you open the doors,maybe the wiring broke where the wiring goes into the door,just a thought,as ive had this with mine

figgy:
after checking out fuse by elimination i found that the fuse for the "ignition feed for multi -function unit ,  " after removing this fuse and reinstalling this fuse the drain disappeared . iam told that the multifunction unit  monitor   several systems  .
