Hi All,
I have a recent and serious drain problem. 13.2 to 11.8 overnight. ie locked and left as normal.
Meaning basic but minimal systems and services should be running in the background.
But something abnormal is draining the battery.
Its a new battery, so disconnected and charging now.
I know can check the 'static' amps drain with a meter.
I posted a week ago, investigating a COMAND related problem.
And an elec auto specialist showed and proved that the COMAND was draining the battery, over 1A infact, in 'locked mode'.
So the COMAND fuse was and is pulled, and at that time the parasitic drain was down below 0.1A.
BUT. I still have a drain on the new battery, as above.
So its not the COMAND.
And something else is kicking in.
So, can any of you good people advise on other likely (ie known) electrical culprits for this scenario.
I dont want to laboriously pull every fuse in turn.
So any suggestions on where to start looking would be very valuable.
Thanks.
J.
