Default Battery Drain

Hey guys, I'm trying to troubleshoot a battery drain issue. I was wondering if someone would check the amp draw from the alt-sencing fuse when the car is turned completely off??

I'm seeing ~.05-.07 ma from that fuse location when the car is completely off.

Thanks in advance

i typically check drain with an amp clamp around the negative cable with the doors locked and hood latch "latched" so the car thinks the alarm is set....wait 15 min and check

Sounds like he already has that covered, he just needs somebody to check the one circuit drain. I'll try to get it tonight if noone gets it before then.

Check both beauty car mirrors. In my case one light was on all the time. Might be the same for you
