    Electric Gremlins

    As some of you are aware i have been having an issue with battery drain,well on the w/end i found by removing fuse no 4 the drain stopped iv not found the source yet but two of the circuits listed was anti-theft and check control well since Sunday my check control is going nuts.

    The story is when i bought the car 18mths ago the brake light warning symbol was permently displayed and has been since Sunday when i did the voltage drop test now it's gone out and comes on now and again along with the km symbol and it's driving me nut's with the beeping every few seconds. I drove to work yesterday the symbol showed once and that was it last night on the way home it didn't show at all.

    So the question im asking is has anyone had this problem before and could this be the culprit for the power drain as the other poss causes were interior lights, vanity lights they are all going out, however i have changed the ignition switch.

    Low battery voltage makes very strange problems yes. Replace it and try.

      fuse 4 powers the radio. I'd disconnect / remove and recheck the drain
