You'll find details on this fault and how to mend it here.
You get the CCU out by pushing the wiper stalk to the fastest position and pull the unit out using normal Blaupunkt tools (or made from a coat hanger) The CCU is fused by Fuse 1, 17 and 28. |
I don't hear the fan with the igition off. It turns out the Ford radio tool works just fine.
Since my first post, I've disconnected the B+ wire at the starter and at the alternator. Still have 5.15 Amp draw. The only thing I can think of is the B+ has thinned the insulation somewhere, but I traced it from the battery through the grommet from the trunk to where it enters the firewall and out from the grommet in the back to the starter. I took off every clamp so the wire was in air and still have the draw. I am puzzled.
