    Battery Drain

    Are you sure it isnt just water getting into your rear door thats aggravating it. Is the rubber boot around the door latch ok? It did settle down when it dried out didn't it.. If water got in round there it would end up on that harnesss..

    Battery Drain

    I know exactly how you felt there mate, a couple of weeks ago my front passenger door deadlock wouldnt unlock, no way to open the door inside or out. Thankfully it did a couple of days later, I've now disabled the poxy things so they don't come on, stick deadlocks up your ar$e!! If someone wants...

    Battery Drain

    As long as you dont turn the ignition on you should be ok, if the ignition goes on the glow plugs will pull a good 60 or 70 amps!! The central locking motors will spike as well.. I think from memory the courtesy lighting will pull 3 - 4 amps. When the car is asleep the draw sould only be 20 or...

    Battery Drain

    The mobule under the hand brake will be the airbag control.. The sensor for detecting movement is in the courtesy light unit up above, the anti jack sensor is inside the ccm. The footwell lights would be in the footwells and come on when the relevant door is opened, they are powered from the...

    Battery Drain

    Until the ignition is turned off, then the small load you are running will get a path to earth through all the things that come on with the ignition. Connect a small light across a permanent live and an ignition live, hey presto it lights up when ignition is off.. Did you ever notice your...

    oil light

    You will see a small amount of room on the turbo shaft, it floats and is held in pressurised oil.. If your not running it that long it's quite normal to see condensation from the oil filler cap, it takes longer than you might think to get it completely warmed up. Is it fitted with a water cooled...

    Battery Drain

    Good news mate, if your stereo and glove box connector were wired long before it started playing up then chances are they weren't the problem. My money is still on damp somewhere, that's now dried. I'd give it another week indoors anyway to make sure mate, Toyota turbotastic!!

    Battery Drain

    Try pulling the fuse for the door control modules, failing that you could try disconnecting the doors at the pillars. Give it a few days indoors and when the code reader turns up, clear all the codes that have been set by all the fault finding. The door open microswitches interestingly don't...

    Battery Drain

    Definatley linked to the ccm then, can you get the car inside for a while, if there is damp somewhere it'll have a chance of drying out, if you can get it in a garage, put it in every night, I've seen this cure strange problems before, damp and condensation can form anywhere and be a real pain...

    Battery Drain

    If the central convenience module is messing about you'll have to remove both of its fuses to disable it. Leave its fuses out and just close the door, don't worry about locking it, you don't have to lock it to make it all shut down. If the hazard switch then goes out and remains off then it...

    Battery Drain

    No you don't need to lock it, just take keys out and shut the door, after a while everything will shutdown and the hazard light will go out. Even if you leave the drivers door open after a while it will all still shut down, the hazard will go out, then about 10 mins later the interior lights...

    Battery Drain

    Try and remove the fuses supplying each module 1 at a time, and see if the hazard switch goes out a few seconds later. As said, the hazard switch is connected to the power supply control module, but many modules on the bus networks will keep the bus awake. If its on all the time, try removing...

    Convenience module coding, no safe mode

    Just if anyones interested, turning on the above function (+8192) does disable the deadlocks. I'll keep an eye on it during the week, but all seems well at the mo..

    Convenience module coding, no safe mode

    Does anyone know what the setting bit +8192 No Safe-Function does in the convenience module coding?? If this bit is set, will it stop the deadlocks from operating when the car is locked? My reason for asking is my passenger door wouldn't undo earlier in the week, from inside or out., VCDS...
