Issue: When engine off, car parked, have 70mA electrical drain on battery coming from fact that 15yo Aftermarket External Voltage Regulator is staying "clicked on" whenever Battery connected. 1984 HJ60 wagon 2H diesel 5sp manual in pretty standard spec., left hand drive (Australia).
Hi, new here, happy Landcruisers to you all. Help please if you know something relevant. Having fun time learning some auto electrics. but just not there yet!!
Have been disconnecting battery when parked for any length of time else battery runs down / flat. Otherwise car starts and runs fine. When battery connected always have 12 volts live to "thicker" White wire and "thinner" White/Light Blue wire that enter Regulator. It is when power goes through the "thinner" White/Blue wire that causes VR to "click on". Remove that power and VR clicks off. If relevant, car has had preheat timer disconnected a manual pre-heater "Button" installed - works great, don't know if relevant to this issue. Please ask for further info if needed. 2 photos of VR attached. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
