Now this conversation has gone wrong. I recently had a medical check-up for my driver's license (ABCE) because I have that big E. The check-up included an extensive eye exam, which resulted in excellent night vision. So I don't need the suggested eye doctor. I'm still looking into the...

The fact is that the P38 headlights are from the early 1980s. Especially the low beams are on par with any car of that time. The high beams have 4 bulbs, which is quite good. However, the question is about the color of the light. The LED lights have a bright white 6000K, which illuminates even...

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this question. I'll leave this topic now that the battery is working again. Another question about LED lights: I think they are very necessary here in the Nordic countries. Especially the low beams need improvement when driving on dark roads in the rain...

Ok, it gives a power of 0.064 W, which is not much. This power does not drain the battery in a few days. But as already mentioned, the situation with BeCM may be different if it is operational. I am sorry that I did not measure the consumption when my car had the RF receiver connected and the...

More about the measurement: I saw a digital ammeter on an online store that you can put directly in place of the fuse. The price of the meter was about 20€. If the accuracy of the meter is within reasonable limits, it could be a handy device...

I went to check the battery voltage now that the car hasn't been driven since my last post. The reading was 12.4V, which I think is reasonable. The main thing seems to be: the RF receiver was the cause of the battery drain. Same as many other readers. I will never connect it again. Or as they...

Speaking of door locks, now that I've removed the RF receiver completely, is it no longer possible for the locks to operate unintentionally via radio waves, regardless of frequency? If the "dancing" continues, is there something wrong with the microswitches in the lock?

Thanks for the good instructions! I'll save it. Interim information: The battery voltage has not dropped at all in 24 hours.

It's already freezing here. If it warms up, I could reconnect the RF receiver and measure the milliamps....

About battery charging: I have installed a 3-pin socket on the front bumper, to which I usually connect a 270W solar panel with MPPT controller. I sometimes also connect a battery charger to this same socket, as I had just done and forgot about it. The solar panel provides enough power to...

Could it be that now that the RF receiver is completely disconnected, it would allow for lower standby current?

As I wrote above, the previous measurement values are too low, the reason; I did not notice in the dark the charger connected to the bumper connector, which provided power to the car's wiring, so only a small part of the battery went to the same wiring, from which those previous readings of less...

I`m back and the new measurements have been taken. The previous measurements were incorrect because I didn't notice the charger was connected to the front bumper connector. So let's forget about them and forgive the confusion! Now, measured with 3 different meters, the result is about 25mA of...

Sorry, I have to leave now, I'll be back on the channel later!

I can't get a picture now, but the meter has a DC range divided into 4 parts: 20A, 200m, 20m, and 2m. I have interpreted that little m to mean milliampere. So the measurement was made with wires from the negative side of the battery. I now have a main switch, to whose poles I have connected the...

Luulen (en tiedä), että se riippuu siitä, mitä toimintoja autossa on valittu. Olen yrittänyt sulkea pois kaiken, mitä en tarvitse. Nämä valinnat voivat vaikuttaa valmiusvirran tarpeeseen ja ennen kaikkea siihen, joka voi herättää nukkuvan BeCM:n. Tämä on vain arvaus, mutta joku voisi verrata...

The meter range was 20 mA and the result on the display was 0.70. Isn't that 0.70mA?

Just measured: between the minus pole and the cable lug with two different meters the result is 0.70mA although it fluctuates slightly over or under. This is the RF receiver completely disconnected, because central locking via RF has never worked for me. Only from the key. The result is less...

I have also investigated the battery drain. I have read all the forum posts. I have completely removed the RF receiver. Now I ask what the correct discharge current is when the doors are locked with the key and the alarm is on. Today I have measured the value 0.063A with a clamp meter. I do not...
