Hey guys,

First time posting.
I have a 2006 LR3 HSE with around 180,000 miles.

For the last few months the battery has been going dead flat if I don't go for a drive every 3-7 days.
I have looked at some guides for diagnosis, and have:
- battery replaced under warranty, and charged prior to testing
- removed accessories (although I believe there is an aftermarket tow kit, I do not know where/how it is connected)
- jumped bonnet latch
- set up a negative battery terminal clip/switch
- locked car and let it "sit" for 20+ min

Another thing I should mention is that my alarm spontaneously goes off maybe once a week, and that I just had to repair my rear tail gate top latch switch.


The current draw was 320mA. I removed FL18 and it dropped to 20mA which from my understanding is normal.
Now I am kind of stuck as I can't find resources about where/what FL18 is connected to.

If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

Cheers
Adam
