ANY ADVICE APPRECIATED [right][snapback]92776[/snapback][/right] You have not specified if the battery drains when the central locking on the vehicle is in the (a) locked (B) unlocked or © in both positions? If it is in all three positions, then I suspect a wire has been damaged or incorrectly connected when the lock was changed. It should be fairly easy to establish if the central locking system is causing the drain by disconnecting and isolating it, then checking to see if the battery continues to drain. Good luck! |
