I posted an electrical problem on my landy series 3 a couple of weeks ago. If I leave the landy with the battery coonected (switched off) it drains down from 12.3v to 5v (with battery disconnected).
Ive disconnected the postive and used an ammeter, as suggested to see if any current flows. But no current flows. I did the same procedure on the negative, again no flow of amps. With the battery connected, and using the voltmeter, it shows 1.5v and 5v with battery disconnected.
With a fully charged battery, the alternator works supplying 14v, also the alternator is new.
The wiring from the alternator is a thick brown cable to the starter solenoid with the battery positive and another thick brown cable going to the back of the dash (I think this goes to the started button - as disconnected the starter button did not work) Also on the starter soleniod is a red/white cable going into the loom and to the back of the dash. Also, there is a black cable at the bottom of the solenoid which leads to the push button starter.
Overnight the battery lost 7.3v, something is happening but the checks I have undertaken have not highlighed any current flow etc!!!!
Any help is greatly appreciated.
cheers
