Who can tell me what could be causing this??

Thanks

 

That's a classic one that will keep you puzzled for weeks.

It's getting powered through the alternator light bulb in the instrument panel. Adding a diode to that line to prevent reverse current will fix the problem.

 

That's great mate, will try fitting one asap.

Wil a I 4001 do?

Thanks

 

It'll do fine.

 

Hej JesseT ,

Fitted the diode today and it's working fine now.

Thanks mate

 

Nice to hear. Glad to be of assistance
