Hi All Having just found this forum and it seems I have experienced most of the problems out there I am glad to have found you all. Since Chrysler have pulled the plug on support in the UK lets just see if we can do it ourselves. I have been experiencing parasitic power drain for about a year now. It was intermittent but is increasingly in frequency leaving in stranded when out and about. I have measured the current draw on the batter to be 1.45 Amps steady after the 5 mins following turning off the Chrysler using a current clamp. This is significantly above the 0.0125 A that other posts have indicated it should be pulling on whilst idle. I have tested the fuse voltage drop (Using this method) across the accessible fuses and found the following. M27 ~115mV on a 10A fuse (Ignition switch) M20 ~50mV on a 15A fuse (Con int light, sw bank) M4 ~70mV on a 10A fuse (trailer tow) M36 ~92mV on a 20A fuse (Power out battery) M13 ~156mV on a 20A fuse (lock unlock) M12 ~40mV on a 30A fuse (AMP radio) M38 ~59mV on a 25A fuse (lock unlock motors) I could not test the Jcase fuses by this method due to them being sealed. Basically the whole system seems to be on. I Then went on to remove all (including the JCase) fuses 1 at a time and at no point did the drain drop. I did the same with the relays again no drop in current drain. Does anyone know how I can move this forward so that I dont have to disconnect the battery every night. Many thanks in advance. Lex
