Default Help with fuses, please.

I have a battery drain that appears to be caused by the Hazard Light "button" - it's lit 24 hours after I turn off the car. I'd like to pull the fuse for the Hazard Lights until I can get the drain fixed in a couple of weeks, but can't find which fuse to pull in the manual - nothing refers to what I think a Hazard Light button is. 2017 Base Coupe.

Can anyone help? Which fuse box, which fuse?

Typically, one disconnects the battery for a minute or two to fix the issue of the car not going to sleep. Discussed in many, many threads. The problem is usually initiated by connecting an OBD reader.

Yes - it was read with an OBD reader and I disconnected the battery (twice!) - and the problem persists. Now I jut want to pull the fuse so my battery lives.

Not clear to me if that fuse would help (if you can locate it.) I suspect the battery is drained by more than the hazard light not going out - other things aren't going to sleep.

My manual doesn't list a fuse for the hazards either.

Agreed I think the "hazard light" is just a tell tale that the car is still wide awake....if you kill the fuse for the hazard circuit I suspect Medusa lives on....

Well, maybe there are more circuits open, but if I can shut off the drain from this one - the one that I know about - it should result in less drain, don't ya think... I don't have a battery charger at the house, and am having to drive it every day (real first world problems ;-) just to charge the battery. The dealer can't give me a loaner for two more weeks...

Best to just disconnect the battery when the car is parked for an extended period until you get it to the dealer.
