clk208 cabrio power drain 12.65v
Hello



I know this has been covered but I've pulled all the fuses on my 2001 clk320 and can't get the meter to drop.
It shows 12.65v. ampage can't be mega high as the battery lasts about 3 weeks if I leave it connected.
Any advise on what next. I pulled the fuses on the boot fuse box,drivers side dash and under the bonnet.
Cheers

I've pulled the connector from the alarm siren, the electric seat connectors.
I'm at a loss atm.
I've got the volt meter between the negative battery terminal.

This place is a joke.
Battery draw is measured in amps, not volts.

Battery draw is measured in amps, not volts, and between the battery negative terminal and chassis ground, or battery ground cable.

.4 amps, which is 400 milli-amps, is far to high.

When the car goes to sleep, the quiescent current draw should only be around 50 milli-amps.
