Hi all,
I am new to this forum and new to 100 series ownership, 2007 HDJ100, 100k miles. I've spent weeks reading through posts trying to find the answer to my problems but to no avail!
Firstly, the car was leaking into the LHS footwell and, after cleaning the sunroof drains, this is now seemingly fixed. However, I'm not sure if the water ingress could be the cause of the problems.
First issue is an intermittent battery drain. The 1HD-FTE comes with 2 batteries from factory as I'm sure you're aware. From a full charge, they can be completely drained to the point of the door lock actuators not working in the space of 3 days. To me, that draw seems absolutely enormous. After measuring each fuse in the foot wells and under the bonnet as well as testing the draw directly from the battery, I haven't recorded a total pull greater than 11mA. On the occasion of completely dead batteries, the night before, the nav screen would not go off even with the doors locked. I manually turned off the display but that didn't work. This problem repeated itself but with the dials not going off when the door was locked and the ignition off. On this occasion, the speedo etc did not initially work until I cycled the ignition a few times and then it wouldn't go off.
Secondly, after testing the parasitic drain with the ignition in the acc position, the indicator/hazard fuse blew and the ABS and parking brake lights flickered on and off before the ABS one is now solidly on. I don't know if this is electrical or not however, the booster comes on for no more than 30 seconds when started and everything seems functional. I would assume it's electrical given that the car was driven to a shed for some protection from the rain whilst clearing the sunroof drains and testing fuses without the ABS light on and, without moving a wheel, the ABS light came on.
Finally, again, I'm not sure if this is electrical or not. There is an extremely loud, seemingly too loud to be a relay, clicking noise intermittently in the dash behind the head unit near the windscreen. This noise randomly started on the same day as the ABS light. It occurs if the aircon is on or off, fan is on or off and the recirculation is on or off.
Sorry for the long post. Any input is appreciated. I was thinking of changing the ACC relay first.
Kind regards,
Josh.
