Just an update
New battery installed still struggled to start next day but started
Alternator checked showed ok and charging the battery
Starter checked no issues there either
Drain test done and Taximeter/Clock fuse showed a drain of 0.036
Radio-PATS-CCU fuse showed a drain of 0.02
The old battery I took off has been sat in the shed for a couple of days, checked it with multi meter and showed 12.86v so that has not drained and I’m presuming that the battery is ok.
Now the question how to sort out the Taximeter drain, I will try and take the fuse out tonight and see if it starts the next day
If that is the problems ie drain how would I sort that out, read somewhere that the meter has relays that malfunction but didn’t say where theses are located, would they be behind the meter or near fuse box.
Thanks
What do you mean by New battery installed still struggled to start next day but started
Put your headlights on and drain some of the power off your battery,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and then see what the alt is puting back in
your bat is a storage unit made up of cells if all are working it will store more power for a longer time .... it can sill read 12 v if most of the cells are no good
