would twin 10" thermo fans/vl fuel pump constantly on be enough to prevent a battery from charging?

i seem to be running on minimal power any advise on were to look would be a great help.

head lights are dim, dash warning lights (been on since ea was ripped out) pulse and the power windows have little to no power

i would be looking into alternator, maybe connections or its dieing a slow death!!!

i thought that but i had a sparky wire it up to make sure. he did add a wire directly to the ej loom from the alt i will right now go remove that one wire and see if it makes a differance.

removed that one wire still starts seems to be fine, i sure will know tommorow morning when it comes time to go to work.

so in my head the normal L loom shouldn't be sucking power,with the ej loom "main power" being supplyed by the "on" position on the ign switch and the back up memory the only new addition to the car with constant power. and the one unknown wire now removed i think it should all be fine.

will post yah or nah tommorow...fingers crossed

started today in the morning, at lunch and after work.

the sparky removed the wire for easy cold starts (from the ecu to the starter wiring) but i think puting it back would help things aswell as a temp switch for the thermos, so two thermos arn't going when i'm trying to start it first thing in the morning.

im thinking two thermo fans kicking straight on ,fuel pump and a cold engine would make it quite easy to drain the battery whilst the ecu had been hard wired over night.

i think it should be fine now, im going to pick up a temp switch for the fans tommorow

flat again today!!! getting the alternator checked tommorow
