C320
Electrical short

My parents recently bought a 2002 C320. the day after they brought it home and tried to use it, the car was completely unresponsive and wouldn't even unlock. We had a AAA guy come out and put in a brand new battery but he found that there was something causing a drain on the battery. If we don't use the car for a day or so, it needs to be jumped. We brought it back to the dealer (a Honda dealer) but they said they couldn't find what's causing the drain. Has anyone else ever had this problem?

2002 would be a W203 ?!
Do a short test and report back. If it has seat memory it most likely the seat modules. If the part number starts with 203 upgrade them to 211 numbers

Hello!

We just got the car back from the mechanic and mentioned your reply and that was exactly what it was! Thank you so so much!
