fuse box diagram

Post by mreaney »

Can anyone help me ? i have a '81 1.6 diesel westy, left hooker. my battery has been going flat every 4 days or so, so i presume i've got a drain somewhere. checked the battery when the ignition is off and sure enough i've got an 80 mil'amp (o.0080 amp) drain which would account for the 4 day cycle ...... ish. checked my fuse box by removing each amp in turn and bridging with my tester. and found that Number 9 fuse is still live whilst the ignition is off, so i've removed the fuse........ but i'll be buggered if i know what No.9 fuse does because everything still seems to be working.
can anyone tell me what i've just disabled
cheers

80miliamps wont flatten your battery over 4 days. unless your battery is completely knackered.
Your battery should be at least 60Ahrs capacity and the drain will only take about 8Ahr.
