Title: Update On Battery Drain
Post by: Dennis DiNorcia CLC #19071 on April 27, 2007, 11:11:22 AM
Sorry if this is posted twice. My mechanic called and said he did a drain test on the battery and noticed a clicking from the level control compressor. He said the test light was on until he pulled the main feed plug off of it then the light went out. I did notice the clicking from the compressor while I did my testing but when I did the test there was no light on. Also I did remove a fuse that I thought was for the Level Control system but the next day the battery was dead anyway. Are there two fuses, one for the pump and one for the level switch? Maybe I pulled the wrong fuse? He thinks it could be a relay in the pump shorting out and draining the battery. I did not think a slight leak in the air ride would cause the pump to come on so many times overnight that it would kill the battery so maybe he is right. What do you guys think? He is charging up the battery, leaving the pump disconnected and keeping the car overnight. I will see tomorrow morning if the car starts.

Gday Dennis,

Thats okay.   Nothing like getting your problems mentioned twice.   That way, more people might see it, ha ha.
