RF Battery Drain

Can someone tell me if I have disconnected the correct wire?
I have marked the one i have removed in the photo.

Been having a nightmare with this.
Battery now on charge.

Looks more like the radio amp to me......no coax on my reciever.
My wire to window was blue and it was the box nearest the back of the rear seat.

Yeah thats the radio aerial!! Rf unit is under the o/s/r parcel shelf, take the blue wire off.

ah that will be it then. what a Muppet.....

less haste....

now the interior lights keep coming on randomly.

what the F*******

Thanks,

That will be down to your battery going flat and the Becm is now sulking

LOL yes i think so.
Is there anyway to stop the sulking as its driving me mad.
was all fine before.

When you put it to bed tonight read it a bedtime story while it drinks it's horlicks....might do the trick.



















Failing that hit it wiv an 'ammer!!!!!!!!

still no luck, have done a sleep test and the "key in" message goes out after 2 mins, but comes straight back on. should i repplace the whole "rf reciever" anyone know the best place to buy one?

Thanks,

only buy a new one from a reputable supplier. too many old ones being repacked and resold at the mo. the other thing you can do is try to improve the shielding. get some copper mesh and just wrap the box (or to be neater, open the box and wrap the circuit while trying not to short anything). the resultant faraday effect will make it much less sensitive to random rf signals although you may need to play with it a bit to get it just right and you'll also have to be more deliberate with the fob (like be closer to the car and point at the rear quarter panel).

Have a look at my profile, I have detailed pictures of disconnecting the RF receiver....
