Ah sorry, thought I had done something wrong lol
what makes you say that?I have a feeling that you aren't quite finished yet.
Read your posts - too many mysteries, battery going flat in a few minutes, then a quick charge and everything works again.
The worst sort of fault on ELV electricals are intermittant faults, you can expect them to reappear at some point.
It's not really a mystery, I had just kept to a few bare facts
The battery had been drained because I had left the headlights on, no headlights but the switch was still draining power hence the charge.
Before I had realised that the battery was flat I had taken the live feed on/off a few times and I believe this cleaned up the connection making it work
I may be overly optimistic but I'm really hoping you are wrong when you say it's coming back
;)
Sorry, not having a dig, but the worse thing with low voltage faults is not finding them and having the problem disappear, it will certainly reappear again.
Hopefully they won't, but be prepared that they will.
