Made progress on my Escos today, managed to find the current drain that's been killing the battery since I have had the car, drawing 0.3A constantly , even with the car totally off.

It's coming off fuse 21, (15A) that supplies the interior lights. Even with all the lights off it still draws 0.3A, so tested the door switches & they all seem good, boot switch seems ok as well. Removed the roof & boot lights, still draws 0.3A with no loads anywhere, so can only think its a ballast unit for the 20 secs courtousy light sonwhere?

Pulled the lighting relay & it's still drawing current, seem to have a live feed from sonwhere, fuck knows where though!

Given up now & just removed the fuse, it will stop the alarm going spastic every 3 days when the battery goes flat
