That's assuming power to pin 1 is required at all. I wonder if it is.......
Bump....
What if I was to just take acc. power from pin 2 and run it to pin 1 (in lieu of direct battery power)?
Don't see the need for a relay unless the load on the wire to pin 2 will be too great.
Any thoughts?

Leak present in non-ace/sls models? I would say so. I have non-SLS model and the 1/3A drain has been driving me nuts until just now. Need to chase a bit more wiring to confirm 100%...
Thanks very much for the original post and replies - might save a bit on batteries now...
Hallelujah!
Hey hey,
can anyone help me understand how exactly to connect the wires to the relay? using the solution mention on the first message on the thread.
which pin no. goes to which pin on the relay.
Thanks.
..... here are my scribbles when working it through years and years ago but I haven't got around to doing it yet perhaps because eight years ago I installed a 1000CCA battery and parasitic drain hasn't been a critical issue since.
It looks correct to me BUT bear in mind that I've not implemented it and so you use at your own risk.

Just be aware when you measure the drain that the SLABS ECU stays under power 30 minutes after the ignition was turned off and ''wakes up" every time you open a door and the drain is normally higher untill it "goes to sleep"

As both the disco's are off the road, got this fantastic device to monitor the battery
12V Car Battery Monitor via Bluetooth 4.0 Voltage Meter Tester w/ auto Alarm BM2 | eBay
Shows the current in (TDi has a solar panel to keep charge, almost lol) and the TD5 is close enough to run a battery charger when needed. Runs on blue tooth and the ap shows the state of battery not only for charge but also when starting up and charging for $30 odd, it can accurately measure the drain!

I have slabs and somehow I dont experience that drain???? Am going to start it up and record the next hour!
How do you know the drain as long as it shows voltage across the battery terminals ? you need to see mA for that
