I appear to have a battery drain issue... circa 1.8-2A.
Pulling engine bay fuses I’ve worked out that F13 (BCU) accounts for about 1.6 of the drain and F11 (ABS valve) accounts for the remainder. With both these fuses out the drain is 0.01A which I consider to be reasonable...
Obviously the BCU is the primary cause of my issues but it controls so much I don’t really know where to start...
I also feel that the ABS draining circa 0.3A-0.4A on standby is too much also... has anyone got any ideas?
It’s only been for the last few days that I’ve been having starting issues, which has lead me to investigating so presume it’s a recent fault but haven’t noticed anything faulty/not working/doing weird stuff.
P.s. I trained in electronics in college (all be-it a few years ago) so know my way around a multi-meter and fault finding, it’s just the specifics of a D2 that I’m not so sure on.
