Hi paulypop, welcome to the forum
I am not an electrician, but when you pull a fuse out, there is always power on one side of it
I have different vehicle, and an older engine than you, without a tachometer
If you can say how many parasite amps are draining, that may give the electricians, an idea on where to tell you to look
When you finally fix the problem, would you mind saying how it was fixed, as it could help someone in the future

thnks rob yes I will post when I find the problem
yes I was aware there will all ways be power there a fuse is just the link between thee power source that just blows if shorted out etc
it drops from f a pull of 18 down to 5 once I pull the fuse out so its a fair size drain
really appreciate yours any ones input nice to learn rather than pay big money which I cant really afford
and when travelling the more you understand how things work is a good thing

G'day paulypop,
In the Techies tab, on Sept 10th there was a posting querying an issue on an Iveco Daily - you may get some answers from those who posted replies.
I note you're a Newbie - Welcome to mostly a great forum! Questions like yours are better posed in the Techies area. I did a "Search" but couldn't find anything of interest in past posts.
To my disappointment (I can fix everything, or so I thought), often it does pay to give some of these nasty faults to the experts who may be able to repair it in minimal time.
