In Reply to: The infamous "Battery Drain" posted by Nolan on November 18, 2001 at 19:41:57:

My problem turned out to be the light in the trunk. It was stuck on, but wasn't lighting up due to a slight amount of corrosion. I bought a multimeter and it was pulling 396 miliamps....
Once fixed it was down to 18....
If I pull all the fuses it goes down to 2...
Now where ya thing those two are goin ??

I think I'll just leave it alone now !!



My 87' 535IS has finally developed a quirk. For the most part this car is bone stock and in great shape with only a little over 100K on it.

Question... What can draw power with all the fuses pulled?
I've removed em all, and the main relay, and it's still pulling some power. I don't have an ammeter so I'm not sure how much yet. But I'll be purchasing one tomorrow so I can sort this out. I've searched the archives and see there are common culprits, but all are on fused circuits. So what isn't ???
