[W126 Coupe] Back to the battery drain issue

[Vance Rowley]

Well unfortunately, although all evidence pointed to the vacuum pump as the cause of this intermittent 6amp current draw. I have had power to the pump disconnected for over a week now. It just so happens I haven't used the car for this last week, so was a good opportunity to see if the battery would be OK or not. Well, you guessed it, the battery was almost dead. Certainly not enough power to start the car anyway. Just a few small cranks of the engine.

So, has anyone any ideas what else could draw around 6amps for between 30 and 60 secs every 5 to 10 minutes or so?
The 5 year mystery still unsolved as yet.

Cheers,

Vance.
