[QUOTE="butchbarker, post: 2545797, member: 868906"] whilst the vehicle is off? My warning light keeps coming on after the car has been turned over night saying the car has went into economy mode. I have renewed the battery as i thought this was the problem after the long winter we had but it was not this. Ive checked the alternator and this seems to be charging the battery at about 14.2 whilst running so this has made me think that something must be draining the battery whilst it is switched off , ive made sure the stereo and all lights etc are off and its still occuring. I disconnected the plug from the horn under the n/s headlight as it was sticking on during the cold nights, could this be draining the battery if the horn switch on the steering wheel is still faulty and stuck in the on position??? please advise as ive ran out of ideas without having to take it to the dealer for a pricy diagnostic check [/QUOTE]
