My battery gets drained easily, I had it checked while it was running, which showed fine (charging OK)
My brake lights and horn don't work, the earth at the bottom of my steering rack isnt giving me a light with my 12 volt tester, an i can't find what the other end is connected to.
Any help would be much welcome.i have searched throughu the wiki and will try following some other routes but some one with a bit of knowledge, wouldnt go a miss cheers
So I presume you checked the fuses and the switch on the brake lights? (see haynes)
The horn, try running a wire from a good earth to the switch in the wheel, The horn ring is prone to rot. so have a look at that.
earth on the steering rack... Not sure if you mean the rack under the van?

have you checked both sides of the fuse, sounds daft, but I've tested fuses before and the was the connection in the fuse box!

Disconnect battery first.
