2001 Voyager 2.5 crd draining battery
hello all,
Would anyone know what causes rapid battery loss (overnight) on this car. I have narrowed down the problem to the 14amp fuse for the radio and remote central locking system. I disconnected the radio completely but the problem persists. Only when I take this fuse off does battery loss cease. Any ideas. Thanks |
Check that one of the internal lights is not staying on, otherwise sounds like you may have a faulty RKE modules. Download the manual for your car and follw the wiring associated with that circuit to see if anything else tails off it. You can find a manual here

is this the IOD fuse? could well be the battery in the siren that is U/S and is draining the main battery.
|
It is the IOD fuse. merlin - please say more about the siren battery being the cause of this. Where would it be and how could I rectify?
|
Glowplug - I have taken of all the internal light bulbs as they tend to stay on. Sadly this does not cure the problem.
|
All the light bulbs will stay on if the dimmer switch is turn all the way up. The siren in under the L/H/F headlamp, plug up under the wheel arch. Unplug it and see if the drain drops.

Hi, I have just disconnected the siren and the drain continues. The other thing, when I put the IOD fuse, the powere mirror motor seems to start automatically even though the engine is turned off completely. Any other ideas?

You are looking for a silver bullet. I doubt anyone can tell you exactly what the problem is without diagnosis. I suggested earlier that you download te workshop manual and trace the circuit. If you don't have this knowledge/experience then you should consider an auto electrician.

On my '01 T&C, I had a battery drain problem. This confused me until one day I went out to the vehicle and the right side power door motor was running all by itself. I disconnected the door motor, and no more battery drain. I haven't gotten around to replacing the motor or doing any other diagnosis.
