Blue wire on battery (Rev1)
Anyone know what the blue wire is that's connected onto the live terminal on the battery? Is this the charge lead from the alternator or is it the main live feed to the car?

Re: Flat battery, draining overnight MK2
:-k :-k :-k :-k Tested as described, used the multimeter on the 200mA setting, it showed 0.02 across the earth lead and earth terminal. Removed each fuse one at a time in the front and rear fuse box... which made no difference at all. Still read 0.02 with each fuse taken out. So I tried the relays, ...

[Mk2] [NA] Rev 1 electrics under the steering column
Anyone know what these are/were? They're under the steering column on the right hand side. The wires behind my dash have been butchered in all sorts of places by a previous owner. Something's draining my battery and I'm trying to figure out what. http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v1189/196...

Re: Flat battery, draining overnight MK2
No it's not a turbo, though I didn't know you shouldn't push start turbos! :lol: Alternator belt seems fine, never hear it slipping and the charge meter is always up there near 18. No stereo in it either so I don't know what could be draining it apart from the alarm. Hate electrical fualts, I can ne...
