Electrical Drain! do i start to pull fuses?

[NoobyNiall]

Hi All,

The van wasn't started in 4 weeks, found the battery completely dead/ murdered in fact :?

Got a new battery, Van started and started some tests, I noted it started to drain the battery straight away.
Disconnected a few cables etc to narrow it down, its only when i pull the 70 amp relay in the junction box in the engine bay that it stops the drain.
So looking for advice, to i have a ground fault? do i start to pull fuses or check my earthing points or maybe water got in on them?

Thanks for any tips / advice.

which engine do you have ?

1.7 Diesel

afaicr the only relay in a JX engine bay is the glowplug relay which is ignition fed
the wiring diagram is HERE

Thanks Aidan, would you also have the change over relay circuit?

[Aidan]

By default the factory black junction box has two relays on a JX. One bigger one, the glow plug relay - which is a control unit, not a standard relay - and one small relay for the aux coolant pump.

Both circuits have battery feed so when they fail closed they can drain your battery.

A NA diesel has only the glow plug relay IIRC.

There is no standard 70A relay by factory.
Try to post a pic of the junction box which relay you are talking about.
