Hi

Thanks for all the replies to my question. I have to confess that I made a
stupid mistake! I forgot to change the probe connections on the multimeter
from voltage to current so the 7.5A was nonsense. The actual drain was 4mA
which would be the clock.

Have fitted the new battery now and all is well except that now only one
side of indicators are working when the hazard switch is on (even though
both sides work normally when used with the indicator stalk).

Sorry to have bothered you.

David
