    IMO yes, you should chase it if you are up to it cos that 0.14 is still high, the 0.06 with C0028 unplugged is very close to normal... if there is something wired into pin 2 remove that completely from there and rewire it into a switched live, you have one in that small socket below C0028, only a female spade terminal is needed... or if it's something you need bad to be there accept that 0.14 which IMO is not good but much better than it wasbut it's not recommended to have accessories connected to direct battery feed cos thats what it is in pin 2 there

    Thumbs up Will cary on.

    Thanks for all your help so far.
    I would like to follow up and find the other drain as I am learning more about the wiring system in the process.

    The Electric trailer brakes is powered from there so I will take that out also. Whoever wired in the turbo timer made a real mess of that area so I will clean that up tomorrow and cary on the search.

    I might have edited my post while you was replying so better read it again, it's quite simple for you, all you must do is to disconnect everything from C0028 pin 2 or if there's something spliced into the brown wire and rewire all the accessories you need into switched live then you'll be at a quite normal 0.06A drain and on the safe side too ... who connected accesories to direct battery feed was not some smart guy(to not name him schmuck)... anyway, i'm glad it's sorted, it was quite a challenge
