Xg300 parasitic draw, located the 2 fuses that have the draw on them, how do i fix it

Fuse 20 and 25 have a parasitic draw. I dont know how to check the things on these circuits. 20 is room lamp, trunk lamp, door lamp, and foot lamp. 25 is ETACM, a/c control, audio, clock, cluster, trip computer, and immobilizer control. How can i check these things to see which is causing the draw. When i take both fuses out, the draw goes away, if i take one or the other, it stays at .13 or .07.

    Thanks for the input guys, im not sure what those diagrams are for, they look nothing like the ones ive seen. 2001 Hyundai xg300. Sorry if that wasnt clear.

    Fuse 20 might be the drain. Your figures of 0.13 and 0.07, is that volts or amps? As Mike said, check with an amp meter. Check the glove box and the trunk lite for staying on, or one of the other lamps as well. Fuse 25 should take a tiny amount-the clock, radio pre sets, computers, and immobilizers all will draw in the milliamps range. I've heard of added-on security systems and other aftermarket "amp robbers" that take the milliamps used to near 100 milliamps (0.010amps). That's still no problem for a good battery.

    Sorry, 100 milliamps is 0.1, or one tenth of an amp, not as mis-stated above of 0.010.

Parasitic draw should remain at 50 milli amps or less or .05 amps this needs to be checked with an amp meter with the battery terminal disconnected and the power drain going through the amp meter keep in mind the circuits your testing may take up to an hour or two to fully go to sleep there is no easy way to test these multi circuits it takes years experience to troubleshoot these

You need to readjust the switch on your trunk door, or replace. To check it locate it, tape it down with duct tape and see if the light goes off. If not it's bad. If it does it means it isn't sticking out far enough to be turned off when the trunk is closed. The adjusment should be fairly obvious. If not you can simply unplug it which has the same result as turning it off.

SOURCE: Jaguar 2002 X- Type Code P0057

Here are the locations of the fuses and relays. F-31 through f-42 probably are the one you want to look at. These are probably all tied together from looking at your codes. Your mass air flow sensor is also giving you an alarm. If your not finding any blown fuses or bad relays it might very well be the PCM (Power train control module) itself that is going bad. A dealer will have to check that out for you.

2003 Ford Escape parasitic drain from fuse BTN2.

You will need to isolate the various loads to determine which is the culprit. The after market stereo should go dark when key is in off position and a door is open.

Theres a problem with Ford instrument panels (cluster) not sleeping. I'd isolate the radio first and then the cluster.

I have a used 2012 that gave me fits with parasitics. The following are contributors along with my work arounds.

Remote FOB low battery (replace fob battery)
SYNC software out of date (factory reset and dont use)
Sun roof (to close; auto open to full then auto close)

98 Jimmy has a power draw it kills the battery within 12 hrs if you pull the 50 amp fuse for the int batt draw goes away any ideas

Yes Steve I do , that fuse supply's power to the I/P fuse block inside the vehicle . It powers AUX/PWR fuse #13 -20amp , RDO/BATT fuse #19 - 15amp ,MIR/LKS fuse #7 - 5amp , CTSY/LP fuse #8 - 15 amp , CIGAR/LTR fuse #2 15 amp , PWR/LKS fuse #14 15 amp , HDLP/SW fuse #1 - 10amp .Do you know where the I/P fuse block is ? You would need to do a parasitic draw test ! This involves hooking up a amp meter in series with the negative battery post an negative battery cable . Pulling each one of these fuses till the battery draw stops ! How To Perform Parasitic Draw Test EricTheCarGuy check out Eric the car guy's video on the subject !

Can not get to the wiring to see if its the switch.

What switch ? GM vehicles have instrument cluster problems that can cause a parasitic drain or draw on the system .Testing for current draw across the fuse is the best way to test for a draw . Not just looking at the fuse's . Watch how a pro finds the draw .

2006 cadillac srx 3.6l it has a 2.5 amp draw with everything off. reading taken between battery ground post and ground cable. i have removed every fuse and relay (one at a time) in all three locations...

Hooking between the neg. post an neg. cable an pulling fuse's is not a good way to do a parasitic draw test on your vehicle . Pulling fuse's wakes up module's an you will see a draw . You need to do it non-intrusively . Your vehicle has a bunch of control modules an pulling fuse's will wake them up. Try this way .

Engine will not start

It sounds like you have a parasitic draw on your battery, without wiring diagrams, and a good understanding of electrical systems andsub systems, finding and fixing the parasitic draw is going to be impossible. You may be substantially better in the long run taking your vehicle to a shop, and having them diagnose the cause of your parasitic draw.

Xg300 parasitic draw, located the 2 fuses that have the draw on them, how do i fix it

Listen, keep it simple,. If you do not know how to check the circuits out but have at least identified the circuits responsible for the drain, then what you can do is to throw a simple double throw switch in line with both of the circuits and just put the switch in off position after you turn off the ignition. Before you start the car throw the switch to on.

And when you have time you go to each circuit and one by one disconnect each item on it until the drain is gone and you will have identified the culprit. Make sure tht there are NO lights on when you turn off the ignition. You might want to look for this on a pitch dark night - there could be some small bulb that is not being powered off like a trunk lite, glove lite, etc.

Repalced battery as old one had dead cell the new battery was fitted and went flat have replaced starter and alt but still get flat battery have check all fuses and all are in woking order and to stage...

check the parasitic draw on the battery. If the draw is greater than 40 ma, something is causing the battery to go flat before it should. Recommend you monitor parasitic draw using a DVOM (Digital Volt Ohm Meter) and unplug one fuse at a time until you discover which circuit is draining the battery.
