Hello! 

 

I've been having issues with parasitic draw since I bought the car. I measured the voltage drop over the fuses and found that the radio and the fuse for the wiper/indicator stalk was using power when car was off. The indicator stalk was very erratic in its draw, often 0 but then it would go pretty high, then 0 again. 

 

The radio was drawing ~800-900mA. Is there a normal fault with the radio units to draw power when sleeping? 

Hi, were you experiencing flat batteries at all? I've had a couple of instances recently where I've come to use the car after a couple of days and the battery is completely dead, no dash lights nothing but I've also had problems with the radio too, I'm thinking it's linked.

 

Did you get anywhere with your issue?

Yeah if I leave it long enough. I did get close to 0 when I locked the car. I usually never lock my cars when they're at home.
