hi all, got a quick question, my 97 p38 has suddenly caught a case of battery drain, i bought a new battery, the one everyone recommends on here, and was fine for a week or so, before anyone asks, when i first got the car a good few years ago i changed the battery then and the rf reciever as it was causing problems.

Im thinking the coupler might be the cause as the windscreen has developed a leak and one morning i found around the steering wheel and the cowl behind wet, im thinking the water got behind and has got onto the coupler as the horn now doesnt seem to work.

Are all couplers the same, i.e age/petrol/diesel?. And apart from the obvious any help with the battery drain would help.

Thanks guys.

that would depend if yours has got the volume controls etc on the steering wheel , if the doner part came of a p38 without the functions it may not be wired for them

mines the exact opposite! doesnt have the stereo functions but found a coupler with the functions!

in that case you may be ok with the swap if the multi plugs are the same
if there are no stereo wires to connect to into and out of the rotary coupling it should not be a problem.
i have changed a few of these but they have been like for like and i cant remember if there is 1 or more multi plugs
