Club 80-90 Forums

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

dont know if its the same but iirc no9 on later models is rhs high beam

check the bulb connector if thats the case

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.
