[W126 Coupe] Battery Drain

[Vance Rowley]

Hi Steve,

 Checked there, but no sign of any module or relay. Thanks for the tip though. Much appreciated. What I did try though was to pull all of the relays that are in the fuse box, leave them out for a while, then re-fit them. Unfortunately, that didn't work. In fact the battery died overnight, but I did have fuse #2 back in. I have just recharged the battery and have just disconnected a couple of circuits that are on fuse #2 which was found to be 99% suspect. At least the battery was still up enough for a start after 5 days with fuse #2 removed. Still need to confirm this 100% though as this problem is very intermittent. I hope to have some results tomorrow.

Cheers,
Vance.
