Check Control Fuse
« on: 09 February 2015, 12:05:07 »
Hello again guys,

Not too sure if battery is fubard or there is a battery drain. The battery is only 18 months old. I checked the amps on a multimeter and the reading was 0.32 amps on a 10 amps setting on the DMM. I started pulling fuses out and came to fuse number 7 (check control) and the amps went down to 0.02. Is 0.32 amps the correct approximate reading or should the amps be reading zero when the fuse is in?

TIA

Ok! I took fuse 6 out yesterday and the battery voltage is 12.22v today. It would be around 11.5v with the fuse in. Is there anything in the radio/infotainment unit that would use that much power when ignition is off? Maybe one for DaveDND.
