Battery dead
I had the rover parked for about an month. And tried to start today and it was dead. What could be pulling power. I'm sure it is lots of things.
Thanks. |
If it where me looking I'd get a total amp draw across the battery and then start seeing which circuits through their fuses (start with engine bay) are alive........ I know, too simple. Yes, it could be anything. If your going to continue not driving for long periods get a battery disconnect (easy) or a trickle charger (outlets/power cords).

Several types to look at to give you an idea.
Battery Disconnect Switches - Electro-Wizard Automatic Battery Disconnect Switch - Combination Battery & Alternator Kill Switch - Combination Magneto & Battery Kill Switch |
I'd start with the alternator. A bad diode can drain a battery.

I've got this one on the negative terminal of two different vehicles.
