Hello all! I have been searching for this problem for over 30 minutes and can't find anything. Perhaps I am just using the wrong search terms.
My son got a 2001 Eddie from his grandmother. Everything is just fine, except...
There is some kind of very loud pump or compressor (it sounds just like a small air compressor you might have in your shop) that randomly comes on every once in a while, and it's also doing that while the vehicle is parked and not running. While the grandmother never had a dead battery issue (as she drove it practically every day), my son does not yet have his license so the vehicle rarely gets started.
I tried to move the vehicle today, and had to jump it because something drained the battery again. I tested for leeches a couple of weeks ago but I found nothing, so I'm assuming it's whatever that pump-sounding thing is that comes on even when the vehicle is parked and no key in the ignition.
Apologies if this is a simple question but I'm making no progress on my searches. I'm not usually stumped!
Thanks very much for your time.
