When you disconnect something, don't you have to join the MOST cable?

You can just disconnect the power from the amp but yes you're right that may disrupt the most ring.

Thanks a million, going to tackle this later. My car also came with a tracker which could be causing the battery drain.

Thanks so much !!

My tracker draws very little current.

Hello peoples

Not been on here for a while, it seems to have been up, work, bed, repeat for the last few months........ Anywho, I've had a serious power drain on my 322 for the last 6 or so months where the battery would go from fully charged to 7.6v within a few hours! Checked every fuse, researched all the usual suspects, replaced various non expensive bits............ Turns out it was the Harman Kardon amp in the boot! Now I said earlier that I checked every fuse, well the amp fuse was pulling 100 milliamps so originally I just pulled the fuse, when it made no difference I assumed that this wasn't the problem... I fully confess that I am worse then unless when it comes to auto electrics which is why its probably taken me so long to find the problem. So pulled the amp out and now all seems to be behaving itself.. Thought it was worth posting in case it helps someone else.. Now I just need to find a new amp or someone reliable to repair this one.. anyone?

So it’s been two months. Was pulling the amp the fix? And what made you look at the amp in the first place ? Thanks

It was kjr. Checked every fuse until I found one pulling an excessive amount of power, can't remember how much it was pulling now tbh. Now have an intermittent suspension fault......... My job tomorrow....

It seems you are correct. Bit disappointing when it's supposed to be waterproof.

This any good. It's just 3 wires so easy to fit.
It only reports every 60 seconds and every 50 degree turn so not real time.
