Current Draw

Post by manluka »

Hi guys,

looking for advice please. I have a current draw of 13.8Amps... Rapid drain on my 65Ah battery, so I disconnect Neg lead when the van is not in use... I have done the usual of pulling all the fuses and the meter shows no change to the reading.. and no fuses have blown. My van is a 1987 T25 petrol.
It's hard to be great, when your as humble as I am.......

Thats a very big draw.. like headlamps or something! Surely it's something noticeable?
