Fuse allocation

Unread post by tractionbrise »

I have owned my Spacetourer Bluehdi150 for about a year. When I purchased it, the dealer replaced the battery and what they called the "battery control module" - could this be the battery management unit and protection (BMUP)? The car is in daily use and has thrown a couple of warning lights which have usually gone out. Recently, the car has been left standing for a few days, after which it fails to start. The dash displays the message "Energy economy mode activated". The voltage at the battery was 8v! When shut down a parasitic drain can be measured at 0.30 Ah but I am struggling to pin this down further due to a lack of a fuse allocation table. I can find one on the internet for the interior fusebox (which is mostly behind a birds nest of wiring loom). There is a 3rd fusebox behind the interior fusebox which can only be accessed by a tiny French mechanic with an endoscope. But I cannot find a fuse table that matches my engine compartment fusebox.

I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

Thanks Mick. That should be the one.....but isn't sadly. Does anyone have any alternative engine compartment fuse allocation tables for a 2018 Spacetourer? Mine is quite high spec, dual zone air con, sat nav that tries to drive you to a citroen dealer every time you hit a speed bump, electric arse warmers etc. etc.

0.3A would not worry me too much when the car is 'awake', but it should be significantly lower when the car goes to sleep after a few minutes.

0.3 Ah is after about 20 mins when everything has shut down.

Way to high then, shouldn't really be any more than 0.06A
Are you measuring this with all the doors & bonnet latched over & the vehicle locked?

If its a keyless model is the keys well away from the van?

Yup, everything shut, keys in the house. Also, failure to start after 3 days standing points to a parasitic drain. Battery is only 1 year old.
