I have a battery drain with everything turned off that is fluctuating (regular like a relay closing and opening) from .33 amps to about .5 amps. I runs the battery down if not started every day. What I have found: 1. When I remove the fuse in the F3 postion in the fuse panel under the dash the drain drops to about 2 milliamps, which is probably normal. Traced that to Fuse #33 in the fuse panel under the dash and when removed also drops the drain to 2 milliamps. that fuse shows to feed remote climate control RCC, (not even sure I have one of those), instrument cluster, multi function switch and integrated control panel. When i remove and replace the fusee 33, sometimes the odometer and tach will jump slightly and when inserted I think I can hear a rely somewhere under the dash pulsing. So that is where I am stuck, not sure how to trace the problem further. I can email a file with the fuse diagram if desired. It is a .doc file
