    2 questions: battery box and socks on dash

    So found a way to check drain and done so and there is less than 0.3 amps when using 10amp scale and 11 when using micro amps plus alternator is cold to touch. So I am assuming there is not current drain. the battery is unknown age and although a 072 is only 563 CCA so I guess a new battery...

    Thanks. If I don’t have power there what is likely to have blown? The headlights still work without the loom.

    Did you have to take wing liner off? So it sounds like I’ve probably fried the relay.

    So decided that as well as replacing the headlamps I would add a Boomslang. All seemed to be going well - got it fixed on headlamps. Found a couple of places to earth it and ran cable to back of alternator. Tried it and the headlamps worked. Then to route the wires better I decided to take it...
