Hi All

I have a current drain on fuse 7 which is drawing 2.4 amps Quiescent (standing) when I remove F7 the Quiescent drops to 0.2ma
I have checked http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1161602010 to see what this fuse is controlling but it dose not control the Electrically operated windows. In the Vauxhall manual F7 controls the Check control ,engine oil level & Courtesy lamp. when I remove F7 my Courtesy lamp goes off so I think that my F7 is wired the Vauxhall manual way. Can anyone tell me where to start looking first for this fault

Consumer delay unit - quite common

Fuse #7 powers the accessory delay timer which in turn controls the courtesey lights, along with rear 12V socket relay.. If this has failed the lights on the window switches will be permanently illuminated and the rear 12V socket will be permanently live

Check the things that hand off the Consumer Delay Unit... ...bear in mind this will be active for 15mins after key comes out of ignition

Hi Guys
I done a quick test I put the battery back on and Fuse 7 back in and left glove box open and phone chager in rear  12V socket. Locked the car up and after about 5min they both turned off after a click from under the pedal box think the click was from the Consumer delay unit.The lights on the window switches turned off when I locked the the car.
If its not the Consumer delay unit what else could it be. There is also another fault the spanner light also comes on and a little while after the engine cuts out the code reader said crankshaft sensor I changed it twice last week and cleared all codes but it still comes back. Dealer said they both maybe faulty and has ordered me another one.Could this fault also be related to the battery drain.

The only thing I can see that's fed from F7 other than the delay relay is the "Control unit - Minimum capacity, engine oil".

Anyone have any idea where this is located? Seems an unlikely cause of excessive current drain, but might be worth unplugging?

Presumably with a battery drain problem, the powersounder has been unplugged and eliminated before delving too far into the fusebox ?

Hi All

I think that i have found the problem a big yellow relay above peddle box part number 24427610 12v 38697 this was on permanently when I unplug it I have no drain on battery only thing is that I now have no courtesy lamps or 12v rear socket. should this relay be on permanently

[Kevin Wood]

That sounds like the consumer delay relay.

Question is: Is it defective itself, or is something triggering it?

Hi All

Thanks for all your help changed the relay last night and put fully charged battery on last night checked this morning and throughout the day and its only drawing 0.49 Amp's with all fuse's in will keep an eye on it.

Thanks again
