Ok so, I have a draw on my battery when car is off. Replaced the battery. My father is an ASE master tech, he checked all fuses, alternator, etc. We can not find the draw on the battery anywhere. Any one have any ideas or had the same problem?

Forgot to add, none of the lights are staying on either.

Check thru the back seat that the trunk light is not on. It wouldn't hurt to have the alternator tested . When you say he checked all fuses, do you mean he pulled one fuse at a time to see which circuit is drawing? With that info maybe Stint could pin something down quicker as he is the master of electronics.

Sorry for the confusion, but yes he pulled all fuses one at a time to see if they were drawing power. Trunk light shuts off when it's supposed to as well. We tested the alternator and it's fine. We are just at a complete loss as to the problem. Currently, I am taking the negative cable off the battery whenever I stop the car. So I don't kill this battery as well.

Does the car have any non factory pieces(stereo,back up cam, aftermarket head or tail lights)?

steve06mcss

Nope. Nothing like that, which is why it's so confusing.

If it has power or heated seats I would start with that circuit, those have given me issues in the past on other cars. After that, I got nothing. Hope Stint chimes in.

i had a similar issue with my 05 gxp and it ended up being the trunk latch.

I wish it was the trunk latch, unfortunately, the light turns off.

Alarm?
If you pull all the fuses, does it go to 0 draw? if not pop the fuse box open and see if youve got corrosion internally.

The connector that goes through the firewall has been infamous for years, the weight of the harnesses on both sides pulls down hard enough the sheet metal saws through the connector halves causing random shorts.

Ignition switch, the saginaw columns have random issues with the actual electrical part of the switch. (Mostly dirt and grunge shorting them but not enough to short out.

my cabin lights did go off, and the display never said it was open.


never did check the trunk light.
