Mudski GU Build Thread

Good find, Mudski. Electricity is a myth. Everything runs on magic smoke, and it looks like the smoke has escaped from the system.

Thanks to you mate. If you never mentioned about chasing a parasitic draw earlier on I would have just replaced the battery assuming it was a dud.

Also Im not sure how, but the battery was drained to 1V. I managed to get the smart charger to do a recond charge, took over 24hours to do so, I left the battery for another 24hours, the voltage dropped to 12.8v, I did a load test and it passed with flying colours. I serious thought I have killed this battery.

I do hope what i found is the cause.

I've also order a new fuse block to replace the shitty block i have with the blade terminals, to a screw terminal type. Much betterer!

I'll also re label them all so they are right! Lol

Then onto finding a suitable replacement to the crap rose joint style sway bar links. I'm sick of greasing them after everytime i take the patrol on dirt, and they flog out so quickly too.

Oh and I might remove the starter and clean the solenoid up too. Might. Thats a big pain in the ass off a job...
