when i turn my car off or get in it later there is a buzzing/fan noise coming from behind the centre console

any ideas as i think this is what keep flattening my battery

someone said it might be the climate control fan

I believe it is the fan that checks the internal temperature on the car (There is the small vent in the dash in that area). Once the systems have shut down (red light goes off by gearstick) it should turn off, if not before, unless it doesn't! .

thats the 1

it is always on never goes off even when the car powers down

Had a BMW that did the same... I thought it was a fault, but no, it is supposed to do that. I clean the dust out of the vent every now and again. Could yours be blocked? Could you leave a window open, lock up car, and check if you can hear it 15 or so minutes later? Previously..

Had the same thing on my 2004 TD6, was sure it never shut off, but read the book and it takes 16 minutes after shut down befor it shuts off. and sure enough stop watch in hand spot on 16 minutes it shuts off

mine is always on it has never turned off ive never been in the car when it wasnt off

i leave the car all night soon as i get in the car its on and ive also getting a battery drain from somewhere
and im sure its this

i bought a solar 12v panel from maplins last night to see if that will help

when you unlock the car it switches on..

check your obd port flap isnt open, this sometimes causes a drain.... ... - .- -.

obd port flap ???

as you sit, its down by your right knee.....this flap hides the obd port which sometimes gets left open causing a drain...not saying it is the solution but you have to start somewhere.. ... - .- -.

thanks Stan

so what i will do is sit in the car tonight for 16 mins to see if it goes off also i will clean the little vent just in case that is blocked

you'll probably find you have to lock the range to get the ecu's to all power down...with you inside you will set of the alarm... ... - .- -.
