hi guys

I have a power draw issue. Have disconnected aftermarket add-ons without success. There is an electrical engagement sort of buzzing noises thats audible obviously. When I disconnect the fusible link plug at batter positive, the noise stops. Any takers on this? I'm sure it's fairly common. thanks guys

Where it the noise coming from, cabin or bay?

You could start by leaving the battery connected and removing fuses or relays in the bay 1 by 1 and seeing if the noise disappears. If nothing, move onto to fuses/relays in the cabin. This will help pinpoint the cause.

pulled all fuses and relays one at a time - noise still there so decided must be starter or alt.... right? yes. Alternator lads. Cheers
