Year of Manufacture *: 2000 ( Optional ) Engine Code or CC: 2 litre diesel
Battery is draining overnight. Done ammeter test and she is dropping 2 amps when everything is turned off.Nothing staying on to cause drain. When i connect up battery i can hear relay which is closest to battery clicking in.This relay is black and in box just at rear of battery. It is receiving an earth which powers it up and when relay is taken out there is no drain. On another astra diesel with same engine and wiring this relay only receives earth when ignition turned on. I know it could be receiving earth from a lot of different locations. Just wondered if anyone has come across something similar with same model.Also heater plugs don't seem to be getting any current when starting in morning and makes car very slow to start. Maybe both problems are connected? Liam
