2008 GL450 Parasitic battery drain
Hello,
I bought a 2008 GL450 that has a parasitic battery drain. Within hours, the (new) battery is completely dead. When I reconnect the battery after charging it, the rear hatch pops open & lifts immediately. I replaced the lock/latch mechanism with a new one, but it has the same symptom.

here we go again, if you dont have the tools you are left with the FUYA which states you must have a charged battery and a meter and then you go fuse by fuse to locate the drain
