The nut on the top cable is tight, but the terminal feels slightly loose. Fusebox needs to come out & get inspected properly.

Could be the solder joint come unglued/cracked . I had this on 2 of the terminals underneath

That's my thought as well. Weather not ideal today though !!

Fusebox out - suspicion confirmed, main batter feed definitely bad. Also the terminal underneath for the Brown/Light-Green feed C169 to the BECM is a bit loose as well. Not noticed any problems with the BECM, but will sort that as well.
Spare fusebox installed & working ok. Will do the re-soldering & replace all the links between the two PCB's later in the week.

That bolt in the first picture has certainly got a bit hot
Those cracked solder joints are unfortunately, typical.

I replaced those readings bulbs with LED after my son left his on one day.

Any ideas how? Limited view and it's frigging cold! Can't see any clip/press/squeeze etc.
Pretty sure it's the culprit because u used to here the computers doing stuff when you pressed/released etc.. now i hear nothing
The little bit to press seems to be on top of the connector so squeeze top and bottom with fingers and it will release.

Battery flat.. 11.9v this morning again. I don't think the battery is the problem though, just a drain.
I've got the bonnet switch unplugged.. how does it come off? Assume the round 'but' unscrews/clips off?

Anyone know what this connector is for with the green end or what it plugs into? If it's for an option extra i don't have them would have thought it would have had a cap on the end?
What to get the actual bonnet switch out?
Pull off the rubber trim that runs across the scuttle and you can just see a tab, assmue 1 on the back but you cant see it (phone pic maybe?) Push the tabs and the whole switch comes out the top.

Thank you!! I would never have figured that out!!
Switch tested and works just fine. Open loop when closed or pulled fully open.
Need to see if it goes open loop when the bonnet is shut, or if the bonnet catch needs adjusting to pull the bonnet down more

Tempted to put my spare good battery in but can't tell the car is got a new battery.. maybe i don't need to as it's not 'new'
It would just not charge it right(I think)but still charge, but it would confirm if the drain was too much for a "good" battery, or it was a weak battery, wouldn't it?

Well it's on. Opened the door closed the door, bonnet switch completely unplugged. Locked the car. Let's see what the drain drops to over lunch!! Currently 1.5a

Something works because it won't lock with the bonnet open, will do with the bonnet closed.
