Anyone checked boot lock for parasitic drain issues ?
The last year even after pulling bulbs and testing,i still had a low battery which wouldnt turn the v8 over.
New battery 260.00 and still drained.
I found the culprit by accident,i removed boot light fitting and put a nice led strip in its place.
Looks great with the metallic blue duco,sort of matches.
Anyway,when boot is left open the light turns off after10 mins or so,but,the led lights still glowed blue although only faintly.Pulling plug on led strip the light dissapeared .
Ok,i removed the boot lock to try to access the wiring but seems its pressed or welded together.
The question....has anyone had this issue and successfully repaired it ?
I'm in the outback and spare parts are impossible to find,cheaply.
Thanks people.
