- VT acclaim S2
I have a 2000 VT series 2 that is having a problem with its electrical system. The battery will go flat in 2 days when not driven, it has a brand new battery and the alternator charges fine. I used a multimeter to measure the drainage from the battery which is 230mA, I pulled one fuse at a time and found that the the eng cont/BCM draws about 100mA and the power door locks draw about 130mA when unlocked and about 170mA when locked. The car is also fitted with an aftermarket alarm system that i dont think even works, would it be worth pulling that alarm system out. this seems like a lot of current being drawn, I have another commodore which is a 1994 VR and it draws nothing from the battery when its off. What do you think the problem is?
