93 RR drains battery.
Hey has anybody found a solution for the battery draining problemon theearly 90'srange rovers? I've already changed my radio, and even tried pulling the fuse for the radio/dome lights. any sugestions?
obviously not your BeCM then if your RRis before 1995 !!
Sorry to say the horrid phrase "could be anything" ... but it comes close...!!
assumming...
...your battery is in known good order, & all yourelectrical connectionsinengine bayare clean & tight,
...the alternator is banging out a decent voltage& that itdoes actuallyreturn to the battery, (and thebrushes are ok)
...your starter motor & solenoid is not shortingout anywhere, connections clean & tight,(and thebrushes are ok),
...any motors are in good order & workingproperly ( windscreens, electric seats etc ),
...that your ignition barrel switch is actually disconnecting from 12v supply completely,
...any after market gadgets are properly fitted...
you will have to start pulling fuses from each circuit & measure any current flowing or voltagepresent.
- It can be long and laborious, but start with the obvious & the larger current dependent items first & you should find itok.
any additions to your vehicle, I would look at first!
Hope that helps!
Good Luck
