Starter battery drain - INJ 30A FUSE - HELP….

Hi

Recently bought a bongo which unfortunately has a problem with draining the starter battery

There’s a constant draw of around 0.23 amps from the battery.

I’ve found that the only fuse that makes this drop is the 30A fuse labelled as INJ (near the positive on the stater battery in the front bonnet).

What does this fuse feed ??

Is this normal drawing power when cat is off and locked ?

Thank you

Drawing a dark current is a common problem on bongos.... usually something on interior circuits, cigar lighters, lights, door loom problems etc. Sounds like you have disconnected negative terminal and checked all those with a multimeter?

For some info. on fuses and circuits, try this link....

The INJectors circuit feeds several circuits including the engine fuel Injectors. depends on which engine your referring too;
