Hi and thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
We have an 2003 X-type with a 2.5. It has developed a 300mA draw and kills a new battery over two days. We have located the draw in the instrument cluster. My concern is that, something outside the cluster is not letting it go to sleep. In connector IP10 pin 15 and 16 we have battery voltage when everything turned off. Or is it just a bad transistor in the cluster.

 

SEARCH is such a marvelous tool =

Hi Dell
Have already read those posts and these are test we do on a regular bases. We have located the cluster as our drain (300ma) . But don't want to just go and replace it when its possible another module is not letting the cluster go to sleep.

 

So you read about the slight possibility of the "stuck" CCM piston?

 

Hey Dell just read through it again. CCM? climate control module?. we have located it in the instrument cluster. pulling fuse 74 reduces the draw to 21mA . thanks for your help

 

Yes, a very old thread by one person said they found a sort of dirty "piston" in the climate control that was sticking open and causing the car to not go into sleep mode. Only mention I've ever seen on this.
