New to form. Thanks in advance for the help. 2008 Grand Prix
No battery problems up to this point. three years into a 5 year warrantied battery. Car sat for 8 days while on vacation. Returned to a dead battery. Charged it up for 48 hours, battery now over 12 volts, car started fine. Using youtube I found the process of looking for a parasitic load with my multi meter.
I have a parasitic load on the battery of about 1.5 amps. I removed and replaced all of the small fuses (under hood and in car) but did not see the amp decrease. when I remove the under hood #26 40 amp fuse marked "BATT MAIN 1" the load drops to .18 amps. When I reinsert the fuse it goes up to about 3 amps, then slowly drops back to 1.5. https://youtu.be/XPQ01DKC3tQ
(Edit: When I disconnect and reconnect the multi meter I get the same increase to 3 amps and then reduction to 1.5...)
1. I do not have a wiring diagram. Does this 40 amp fuse feed other fuses that I may have missed the load drop?
2. If it is a problem on this circuit, any Ideas what to do?
