Hi all,
OK woke up to a flat battery this morning. Car not used for only 8 days but very flat this morning. I have an hr commute to work so it's not down to short trips, etc and the battery doesn’t look that old.
Just checked that AC Relay and it's rattling so do you guys think this might be the cause and the start of bigger issues? Air con working fine so not sure myself.
I'm going to change the relay regardless as it shouldn't rattle for peace of mind. After jumping the car and driving to work and back battery is sat at 12.85volts and goes up to 14v under load so all seems ok now.
Is the car OK to drive without said relay until I can source a new one? Just a loss of air con or could I do further damage?
Any guidance from those in the know greatly appreciated.
Cheers
