Changed bcm to add cruise auto lights etc
Keys programmed at local ford dealers as it 2014 mk7 normal pats Programing won’t work
Saturday morning another forum member turned up with laptop in hand (he did my last van top bloke )
Loaded as built then modified and turned on all my goodies
We went for 10 mile run to check cruise etc no problems
Got home turned van off then tried to restart and nada battery flat???
Jump started it another 10 mile run same outcome got home turned it off flat

So put old bcm back in jump start ran it on the drive for 10 mins turned it off starts on the button
Checked both batteries holding 12 8 v
Charging 14. 5 loaded and unloaded there or there about

Changed bcm back to new one only charging about 11 v

Thanks in advance

It’s not unlikely there is a config issue.
Presumably he loaded the correct as built file as per your VIN before making the correct modifications ?
I’ve seen weird and wonderful faults on a mis-config’d BCM.
