Hi lads yet another thread about the xe lol

Seems that my car is draining the battery.. Now I'm 99.9% sure all the earths are connected!

Just wondering if there could be any other reason? Just disconnected two wires that were wired in by spankyjames as we found out they might not be needed. And by disconnecting them nothing gas affected the car! Still runs fine and everything works!

Also my headunit isn't work since we done the conversion?!

Cheers, Aaron

If u know how to use a multi meter properly then u can check for a drain. Then unplug things till the drain has gone then ur know where the problem lies

Yeah leave the meter plugged in and pull as many fuses as you can find in turn.

^ this, ive just fixed a drain on an astra at work, pulling all fuses waiting for a drop on the meter, turns out customer was changing a fuse in boot for something a while back and had put a fuse in a slot for the twin top convertables which should be blank as it was a 5 door
