Default Lead acid battery charger (or alternator) switching to trickle with load present?

But you dont know if its continuous when it happens
or intermittent. If it was intermittent and regular it
could well be the alarm triggering, then timing out,
the triggering again and then timing out again etc.

You wouldnt normally get that with a pinched wire.

True, but I'm not spending any more on the problem.

More fool you when is peanuts and the alternative is to
have to manually charge the damned thing every night.


I've already spent time and money trying to trace the ****ing fault and
I've had enough of it.


So you are actually stupid enough to waste far more
time manually charging it every ****ing night. No
surprise that you are completely unemployable.


Takes **** all time.


Takes much less time with the fault fixed.

Whenever I come home, I pop the bonnet as I get out of the car then clip
two croc clips to the battery as I walk round the car to the house door.


Takes much less total time with the fault fixed.

And that would allow you to see which door is the problem
too if it is one of the doors pinching a cable as its closed.

What makes you think it's a door?

Its the most obvious way to pinch a cable.

Actually I've just had an ABS wire fixed that had been damaged by
the
handbrake.

Sure, I didnt say its the only one. And that one wouldnt
be fused either. Neither would the airbag triggers.

Airbags certainly are fused.

Mine arent.

I know people who have taken the fuse out.

But you dont know its fused in your steaming turd with wheels.

So if it shorts it just causes a fire? Everything should be fused.

They are internally fused. That way they cant set fire
to the car and can't have the fuse pulled by a car thief.

The fuse must be at the start of the circuit,


Wrong, as always.


So why does your house have the fuses in the consumer unit and not halfway
along the wire?


With your stupid system, there is one
in the incomer, one in the CU, one in
the plug, one in the device itself.

or a short in the feed wire can cause a fire.


And yet you claim there is no fuse at all for the alarm system.


There will be a hidden one, so theives can't pull it out.


What I said.

And we know that there isnt one for the starter etc.


That would require a ****ing big fuse.


Which might just be why there isnt one.

Imagine a table lamp in your house with a fuse in its plug, but the
cable leading from the consumer unit to the socket is unfused. What do
you think would happen if a rat ate the wire in the wall?


Thats the situation with the starter in every car.


Which doesn't have wires running through the dash where it could set fire
to the inside of the car.


But does have a wire running thru the engine compartment
where the petrol is which is even more likely to set fire to the car.

All the starter would do if it shorted would break the battery or the
wire.


Or set fire to the car.

Modern car security is about a lot more than not having
a fuse for the alarm in the main fuse box.


What?


Non key systems.


So have they finally removed those annoying alarms that wake people up in
the middle of the night?


Corse not, because thieves can still break windows etc.

And my car has a key.


Because its a steaming turd with wheels frog car.
