Battery Drain
Hello, I recently bought a 1996 XJ12 and the battery is dead in Lee’s then 20 mins, it’s a brand new battery, I’m thinking it might be the electric cooling fan, but not sure has anyone else seen this problem? |
New batteries have a quality issue these days
Personally I would remove the battery and have them test it on the test bench in the back of the auto parts store To properly do the test requires 1 hour Pm me to alert me of your results as I don;t normally monitor the V12 section The V12 ,Iinline 6 and even the V8 versions of the X300 / X308 series is of about the same electrical layout Parasitic drain is the term used when the car fails to go to sleep after he key is removed but continues to stay alive , but this is a large drain rate in your case Quick possibility is the fan control module under the car fwd of the front left wheel is full of water as it hangs not as designed but water creeps in keeping power on the fan motors The wires coming out of the module should point down The part # for the X300 and X308 versions of this fan system fan control module are different and the X300 is white and the X308 is black By removing the module and shacking you can hear the water if present See page 81 : http://www.jagrepair.com/images/Auto.../jagxj1996.pdf Editing with pic |
