Is it ok to run the car without fuse 7 in as it is causing me a 0.28 amp loss. Reading the service book it mentions something about oil and some control thing besides interior lights.

[Doctor Gollum]

You should probably investigate further, as the fuses run more than they advertise

[Raeturbo]

Mm running it now and it appears it’s just interior lights and warnings on the dash low windscreen level brake lights etc

[Doctor Gollum]

Brake lights, wipers etc all working?

Fuse 7  glove box lamp,boot/tailgate release switch illumination,,accessories relay,boot light,door edge lamps,interior lamps, engine oil level control module

Thanks I will check them all

Assuming we're talking about a 3.2 Facelift Omega Elite and not a Battlebus or Barge....F7 directly feeds two destinations...

1) CSR Line 1338 - which is relay K153 - which is the Consumer delay relay buried behind the dash. I'd pull that and see if the fuse stops blowing. It's unlikely to be K153 itself - it'll be one of the loads that it switches, and there are lots of them.  None appear to be safety related though.

2) MCO Line 3046 - which is control unit K149 - which is the Minimum Capacity Engine Oil unit. Dunno where that lives though.

How long does it take to flatten the battery, Rae?

[Raeturbo]

Well Steve I done a parasitic draw test and it was 0.36 Amps, so I started pulling fuses and when I pulled fuse 7 it went down to 0.06 which I believe is acceptable, battery is pretty good so I didn’t notice it at first until I left the radio on for two days and didn’t realise u TIL I had started testing for drain which was 1.2 amp when I first started and went down to the 0.36 when I switched it off.  Lco12g. I can hear a constant click click click noise under the dash but when I remove the fuse it stops so looks like I need to find that relay.

How long did you wait for, the accessories relay remains energised for many minutes after key off.

[Raeturbo]

Ahh, yes Mark I done that,  I also left it overnight with the bonnet open I’ve tried loads of ways to overcome that as I was aware of it👍 However now I know what it is I will put the fuse back in and try again,The interior lights were only working when they wanted to as well so I’m going to look for the relay and try a new one

That's risky round your way.    You're lucky you've still got an engine!
