Clock Illumination Question?

[spurty]

Got a 2000 IS200, having a Battery drain problem. :tsktsk: :tsktsk:

If i leave it standing the Battery goes as flat as a pancake over a couple of days

Trying to find out where the drain is from (have established its not the audio)

Noticed the other night that the clock light is constantly on, even when i turn the ignition off, is this right?? i would of thought it would be on a switchable live???

Look on http://www.bahamutcars.com for the circuit diagram in the Workshop Manuals section - that might help you.

The clock should go out when ignition is off

Thanks, thought as much.

Traced it..... poxy amp by-pass wiring loom that i bought off eBay, was causing the drain.(so it was the audio ggrrr) Either its faulty or wrong? i thought there were only 2?! hey ho i will buy another and try that!

ta, ill look out for one, doesnt seem to be any on flea bay atm, well not autoleads ones

I got my autoleads telemute lead from www.nexxia.co.uk (I think), pretty sure they do all the cables. They're reasonably priced and were happy to give me quite a lot of support over the phone so highly recommended.

Hi I have the same problem with the clock light staying on. I have fitted a genuine autoleads amp bypass loom. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

i also have this problem with an autoleads loom, any ideas which wires would be causing it?

I'm having same problem with auto lead wire. Has anyone got solution plz

[Shreksta]

There is two yellow wires on the autoleads and red not attached to any. You must split one of yellow wires to the red lead. This has worked on my car today
