Might pay to add your car YEAR, and engine size, etc, to your sig. The X200 is different to the X202, and so on.

Maybe the compressor has seized, thus causing the relay to "stick" on, but that is a guess.

 

hi there many thanks its a 2004 2.5 v6 s type

i would have said crook relay , it may have failed on its own at this age . well worth checking to see if the pump turns or not as stated above , as well as checking the clutch activates ,
have you checked to see how many amp's its drawing with a multi meter ? also does the clutch on the compressor click on when you fit the fuse ?

 

many thanks

There's a thread...possibly a sticky; some member here wrote a step-by-step guide to tracking down battery drain issues. Might be worth a look for you.

 

There's also a jag how to which will be in the stickies/files area/etc

Search will find threads, just then have to read and read...
