| Post subject: | Fuel guage question |
Should the fuel guage work with the ignition off. My '69 Mk2 S battery is not holding charge if not started for a week or so. On checking the wiring diagram the B terminal on the voltage regulator gets power from the wiper motor. Along with the fuel guage, the wipers also operate without ignition on. I am wandering whether this is where the battery drain is occurring before I take the battery back to the supplier for warranty. Any thoughts? |

no, it shouldn't work with the ignition off, and yes, that would drain the battery. The +12v wire is connected to the wrong fuse |

Alan, As Simon said, fuel gauge shouldn't work with ignition off, neither should the wipers. Clive |

Thanks. All fixed, yes, the 12v feed was connected to the wrong fuse. |
