Trunk lid causing battery drain?
Hey All,
I have a crazy battery drain; found this dtc code on my icarsoft. Battery killed in about 8 hours. Have chased down usual suspects to no avail (alternator, command fuse, battery, etc.); sorry for flooding this forum about it :-)

Could a messed up soft trunk lid cause battery drain??

Will this cause battery drain?? The stupid trunk lid?

Can't tell much about particular code, but faulty module can keep the car awaken, so it will discharge the battery overnight.

Fuse number 88 controls the trunk lid, so I may pull that tonight to see if drain stops

Also observe when all lights and cluster will go out when you close the door. Should be within 10 sec.
Just make sure your phone is not keeping the car up.
