i put this on electrical forum aswel.

is there any silly things that could drain battery over night ?
checked the obviuose things like lights !

i also put a new battery on just incase,
and vag com came up with brake light switch faulty, so changed that.
but just thought i`d ask if there is any silly things that we would not normaly check.

My car also has a minor battery drain. It is off to the paint shop for a respray but when i get her back the only way to pin point the battery drain is to turn off the ignition, go to the fuse box with a multi meter and check every fuse to see which one is still pulling power.
My battery would drain completely if left for 2 to 3 weeks unstarted.
That doesn't happen very often but i don't like the idea that there is an obvious electrical fault.

Happy Easter by the way.

Have any of you got tracker fitted? This will to a certain extent drain the battery.

My car has had a tracker in the past. Never crossed my mind that it could be that! Smart thinking dude!
I assume it would continue to pull power if connected to the network or not??
Any ideas where a tracker gets it power?

Tracker is connected to one of the circuits on the car, and plus has a back-up battery, which is rechargeable.
