Anyone tell what fuse number 1 is for it seems to be draining my battery

neilly · Apr 22, 2019

I would hazard a guess,

Hazard lights???

Cheers

Hi Neilly
Yes it is the hazard warning light
Sorry no manual Pal
Any idea what I do next if this is the drain
Was wondering if there is a relay or something that could have gone faulty ?

As you can see post# 3, it may also be the alarm, does yours have an alarm?

Cheers

No, no alarm
It’s a very basic truck
I’ve had it 6 years but I’m crap on auto electrics

I would recommend you downlaod the RAVE manual , then you can see all the wiring diagrams etc.

iirc the switch does all the work try disconnecting it and see what happens.

What current measurements are you getting before and after taking the fuse out?
I thought I had a drain big enough to flatten the battery quickly. But, it turned out that the alternator was on the way out.

With meter set at 20amp it’s 0.32 with fuse in and 0 with fuse out

So there is no other drain, other than through that fuse? 320mA is a big drain.
Have you checked each indicator to see if the connections are corroded and shorting or if any are full of water?
