    Focus C-max 54 plate Electric Park Brake Drain Archived Message

    Posted by Andy Brunnschweiler on November 25, 2008, 6:43 pm

    This is my first post,so be gentle with me!

    Called out to above car last week,with persistant flat battery.
    Checked charge rate,OK,so fitted new calcium battery.

    4 days later,battery flat again.
    Noted constant drain on battery of 0.75A ( Using ammeter between terminal and battery. )
    Drain drops to 0.03A when EPB fuse removed.
    Visually checked EPB wiring/connector under spare wheel well.All clean ,tidy.

    Removed,stripped n/s footwell fuse box ( Advice from previous posts ).No clear sign of water ingress, although some soldered joints looked a bit dull ( dry? )Probably OK.
    Only DTC ,intermittent immobiliser fault( Snappy ).(No IDS available!)

    Anyone come across this before??

    Any help and all suggestions,gratefully received,before I open up the sealed box containing the motor/cable ends.

    Thanks, Andy B.
