so... I've done some reading, and have not seen any solutions nor have I been able to figure anything out. my battery is draining, on the mutimeter I'm getting .39-.4 pull the fuse and it goes to .03ish... so I started unplugging everything related to that fuse.... radio, CPU, Security, lights, door locks, all one at a time, with no change every time. any suggestions on what to try now?

 

S4 or S5?

 

sorry! it's a s4 vert

 

ROOM: Clock, stereo, interior lights, alarm, ECU (pin 3J).

The Room fuse powers a lot of courtesy lights so that would require unplugging a series of plugs rather than just one.

 

I've pulled all those one by one, (clock is always disconnected cuz i have gauge pod there) but it did nothing, but if I pull the fuse and it drops. I've pretty much disconnected everything one by one inside the car, including stuff outside this fuse, mirror switch, heater controls blower motor, turn/wiper/cruise/hazard switches...

I pulled the dash harness plugs (2 on drivers side), trunk, door harness's... almost every plug I can get to I've pulled and checked with no changes.

 

So you unplugged the wire which feeds the door courtesy lights? And the L/R wire which feeds RR3-01, which I believe feeds the trunk light? The Ignition Key Reminder Switch, and ignition key and door cylinder light if equipped.

Also, did you wait for all the circuits which are powered by the Room fuse to power down before measuring for amperage drain as it takes a while for this to occur.

And what provoked you to check for a battery drain in the first place?

 

my battery went from 12.6 to 10.2 in 3 hours. that's what started it, the cars been a project for awhile now and it's finally close to being together, so I'm kinda going through everything to make sure everything is properly working.

I unplugged the 2 connectors that go to the doors. I unplugged the connector to the to the trunk light

is the ign key reminder part of the CPU?
ign key light I did not. ill try that one tomorrow.

and how long should I wait, I'd wait like a min or 2 and check to see if any changes....?

I appreciate the help.

 

Some circuits require about twenty minutes if not longer to fully power down.

The ignition key reminder has two wires running to it, one from the Room fuse and the other side from the CPU.

The alternator is also a culprit for draining the battery. If you recharged the battery and disconnected the voltage output wire from the alternator that should prevent it from draining the battery if were indeed doing such. And what type of alternator are you using? S4 or another type?

 

s6.
constant from battery.

me not waiting long enough may be a problem too. tomorrow ill start going through more slowly checking what I've already checked.

 

Glove box light?
OH!..Vert?..trunk light?????
