I dont know where the relay would be in your car but logic would suggest the same place. My windows were both working well during this fault. The mechanic said the connector into the relay was shorting, draining my battery like yours. (The largest of the 3 plugs going into the relay.) Disconnecting this plug stopped my windows working but fixed the battery fault while I was waiting for the replacement relay. You could try disconnecting these plugs and see if it is the problem? :) Having now fitted a replacement relay I have noticed the battery returning to full strength, a problem with my radiator fan not running has disappeared and the passenger window goes all the way down with one touch of the switch! I have no idea if these were connected but as long as it remains that way, I wont loose any sleep.

OK, just got it back from the garage, had it serviced at the same time. The draining battery fault was down to the electric window relay! Its locacted behind the trim on the rear offside (where your right elbow would be if you sat in the rear offside seat). It had developed a fault and was shorting out causing the flat batteries.

I shall have to get the car to my local garage and get it tested. I will update you when I have the answers.

My G60 went through its last battery in a year. I have replaced it recently but the other day in heavy traffic the water temp got very hot, the low water level light flashed and after stopping, the battery was dead! I checked the expansion tank but the level was fine. Until this incident the battey has been fine. I also noticed that the fan was not running at any time. Checked the fuses (all ok in the main fuse box). Sometimes I can hear the fuel pump running some time after locking the car? Any ideas? Thanking you in anticipation! Tony
