Hi!
Does anyone know what could be causing my battery to drain on my FiatPunto 60 SX T Reg - 1999 to the point where even my interior light wont come on!
I am now on my second battery in as many months, I have not fitted anything new on the car. I had a feeling that it could have been a faulty alarm that was installed by the prev owner over 3 years ago, so I got rid of it at the weekend, took the batt out and put it on charge overnight. Next day I put the batt back, and everything was fine! Started first time with no problems at all.
Next day, went out and surprise surprise, it was dead again!
The only other thing I can think it might be is the stereo. I have noticed that the stereo will stay on, music n all even with the ignition off and the key out. I have another car, Honda Civic and the stereo goes off when ignition is off. This has been the case on all cars I have had in the past as well.
Should the stereo stay on even with the ignition off ??? If not does anyone know how to fix this, I noticed on another thread that someone was saying the Fiat wiring does not match the iso connection wires, could this be something to do with it ???
I have also bee told that it could be a bad ground causing the drain. What the hell does that mean?? lol!
:bang:
