Rinse 0 Posted March 15, 2009 First off, I've searched, which has got me thinking and asking this question. I would normally just leave it a couple days and see the answers for myself but the car is going in for an MOT tomorrow and don't want to find it out the hard way! :lol: Since I got my Rad the battery would die between 3-4 days. The battery itself seemed fine and is holding its charge. So I was planning getting a hold of a multimeter (I don't have one... :shock:) and going at the fuses till I found the culprit. However, today whilst searching around I found a couple things on Boot central locking not working, which mine wasn't. So I tried a couple of these things and long story short it was just a seized hinge that moves the lock from open to close which was fixed with a small splash of WD40. :clap: Now, I also read in a thread about battery's draining that it could be due to the central locking not fully locking and still taking a draw from the battery. My question is, If the lock wasn't opening fully when unlocked, would this cause the same effects and still be drawing from the battery? As I was leaving the car unlocked but the boot would be stuck locked due to this seized hinge? (I could never open it in the horizontal position.) Cheers in advance for anyone that can shed some light on this for me. Also, Apologies for making a thread on what seems to be 2 very talked about subjects on this forum. Haha. :ignore: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rinse 0 Posted March 15, 2009 Also another unrelated question. Just went down the road and up making sure its running okay, The fan on speed 4 squeaks really badly but if I put my foot down and reach around 3000rpm the dash and my headlights get brighter and the fan starts running fine. Any ideas what's causing that? low power in the battery? Apart from that its running fine :clap:. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
