Dont suppose anyone could help? Got to take a lady out tonight and the cars battery draining antics are getting dire, the alternators fine, checked. When i switch the engine off, all the relays click off but after a moment the rev counter sits at 1000rpm an the mpg sits at 35, until the batterys dead, im sure thats whats drawing current but can anyone fire me some specific cables/earths to check please? Engine earths ok, battery earths ok and all alternator wirings good/correct.
Thanks in advance if anyone can help
