Default Need help with the electrics.

I've found a parasitic draw on my 2002 X-Type, it's the 50amp fuse, that sends power to the interior fuse box, now that I've found the draw l don't know what to do next, any help would be really appreciated.

Tich, what you are going to need to do is get your hands on a multimeter with sharp probes (atleast probes with a very fine point). Now, what you are going to do is to open the driver's door and access the fuse box. If you look at the tops of the fuses, you will see 2 silver slits in the top. You are going to put the multimeter with the red lead on one of the silver slits, the black lead on the other silver slit. With the multimeter set to read millivolts (the MV setting), you should see 0.00. If you see say 5.00, then that fuse has some current draw through it. Write down what fuses you see current draw with and we can then figure out what is your problem. Keep in mind that you should see atleast 1 fuse with some current draw as you have the driver's door open and the interior lights are on. You can turn off the interior lights to help minimize whatever draw you may have.
