G6T-RIZ

a few people have been on complaining about battery drain me being 1 of them.after trying all the usual things,pulling out fuses and checking with volt meters and finally discovered the prob. 1. well a new stereo was a cause.i wired my stereo direct so u dont need the key in the ignition.but the new alpine stereos still cause a drain even when they are switched off unless the live feed is switched.or u pop the face off. 2. even if u pull all the fuses out and there is still a drain that could be down to the alternator or the alarm as these take a direct feed from the battery.if the alternator is ok then its the alarm system.even if the alarm is not active is still draws a current.just to make sure place a link between the last two wires, remember im talking about the factory alarm. the central locking will still work with the key. meter readings.- 0.02-0.04 is normal 0.04-0.10 there is a fault if the reading is between 0.04-0.10 this will cause ur battery to drain over a period of a few days. i hope this info comes in handy for those that have a battery drain prob.

yeh i checked it at my mates garage and it was ok.it was ok for a week then i came out to start it and the battery had a slight charge in it.

alrite i need help.My pride and jot g6t has a problem.The battery keeps going flat on me.ive installed a new battery but after a few days its drained.i put an ameter across the battery to see if a current was being draw and it turned out to be a fuel pump relay.changed that and things looked ok,but now its happening again.ive diconected my tv and stereo and dont set the alarm but sumthing is drawing power.any suggestions on solving the problem as u cant take the car anywere incase it doesnt start.

just got my coilovers on and the car sits quite low.took it for a drive and it feels totally strange.the car wants to go in every direction.it feels like your driving on ice.ive not got the wheel alignment done yet.will this solve the problem.also when the car is lowered down from the ramp the to of the strut seems to come up alot, is this rite or have i mised out sumthing when installing them.
