Hello all,
The battery is brand new and still only lasts for 5 days max before it is drained. I have isolated the fuse block to the passenger side and after pulling all the fuses and having the other fuse blocks completely disconected from the (+ ) feed, except pass. side, the battery still shows a 0.41 AMP drain. Voltage goes from 12.6 to 11.0 in 3 days.

I'm wondering if it is a hard wire goingto the alternator? Before I ripped it out, I would appreciate some advice if y'all would.
Thanks,
Bill

Do you still have the drain if you disconnect the passenger fusebox power feed?

Have you tried to unplug the brown relay also in the passenger fusebox?

Opps, I lied. It was on the driver side. Fuses 5, 15 and 18 on the drivers side.
Fuse 5, 15A, Body processor module, Driver side fuse box
Fuse 15, 25 Amp, Driver door control module, Driver side fuse box
Fuse 18, 5 Amp, Instrument cluster, Driver side fuse box.

When these 3 fuses were pulled my Amps were .038A.
#5 in .331 A (15, 18 0ut)
#15 in .098 A (5, 18 out)
#18in .168 A(5, 15 out)
All three in .490 A.
All measurements taken after 5 minutes of wait time.

Any thoughts other than replacing the modules? Darned if I know why the instrument cluster would pull .168 A.


Thanks,
Bill
