[QUOTE="Race Red Boss, post: 16062499, member: 162573"] Interesting, thanks for this. I didn't know about this issue with the S197's. Looks like a draw of about 300 milli amps on mine. How much is yours drawing? I've disconnected the negative battery terminal and covered the car for the winter and will now wait till next spring to do some further investigation. I plan to check the voltage drop across the fuses in the passenger side panel (indicates current is present). I measured the ones in the engine distribution panel and didn't find anything except for the blown 20 amp fuse for the Console power point....which I believe is due to a wire that appears damaged and likely blew the fuse when it shorted out against the metal in there. The previous owner replaced the head unit with a nice Pioneer system, including NAV....that will be the first place I check Several Youtube videos speaking to parasitic battery draws indicated that added accessories frequently are the cause of the problem. Once the driving season returns, the car doesn't sit idle long enough for it to be a problem, but the constant extra draw on the battery will likely shorten its life span. [/QUOTE]
