clk 430 battery drain teleclk430phone
A few months ago, my 2001 clk430 battery was dead. Being an old battery, i just replaced it. Now I noticed after about 3 days it will not crank. Battery would be at about 10.5 volts. So i did a parasitic drain test, pulling fuses and found fuse number 3 in the trunk is my culprit. Telephone system (optional). So i pulled the fuse since i dont use it anyways. Fuse also goes to e-call. Well after starting car i get an srs light and display malfunction see dealership.
So i assume the ecall is routed through the radio and srs because of air bags.
When i changed the battery, i didnot reset the radio code. Could not reseting radio cause a drain, or could the seats be causing drain. Or is it the tele system. Or am i completly off track. Thanks in advance,
Shawn
