Ford Mondeo - Ford mondeo titanium battery drain - Cruxmeister
I have a 58 plate mondeo titanium 2 litre petrol. Had car about 6 months and battery died on me. Changed battery, all good. About 3 months later car died again and breakdown couldn't start it battery was so dead.

Since then it has failed on me half a dozen times. The last time I did a 100 mile run on a thu, drove it short distance to work and back on fri, by 10am sat morning it was dead.

Ford and local auto electrician say intermittent drain isn't happening when they have car and say cant find anything wrong. Just let my local guy have car for a week and guess what, the b***** thing didn't drain!

I am at a loss. Ford updated all software and did some technical service bulletin on intermittent drain on instrument cluster. That didn't work. Got an earth strap fitted as one guy said it could be an earth issue. That didn't work.

Car has full ford service history and is a beauty of a car... When it works!

What do I do? Do I get a more powerful battery? Anyone have any ideas? Losing hair as a result!

Thanks in advance.
