Hoping for a thread link to ANY and all BATTERY DRAIN or Parasitic draw. My first post in the forums and glad I found you guys/gals.
So I fixed 1 battery draw from the rear wiper motor not being docked at the home position. Great! Pulled the fuse... done!
New draw popped up a few weeks later. NEW battery dead this morning. Remote locks and I left the doors unlocked overnight. I was flushing coolant system last night and gently rinsed areas around the coolant bottle to include the under hood fuse box. It was COVERED. It was dry inside this morning too. However before putting on the battery charger I could hear a faint rapidly clicking noise either underneath or behind the fuse box. Hopefully some of you mechanical (electrical gurus) can help with this stumper! I pulled these fuses from the interior fuse panel also:
POWER WINDOWS
POWER SEATS
and still have a draw according to the battery charger guage that's still fluctuating slightly every 15-30 seconds. That is how I found the rear wiper power draw. Pulled that fuse and no more draw (fluctuating battery charger guage) Thanks for any helpful info out there!
