Hi all,

I am trying to locate a parasitic drain in a 2011 ML350, utilizing an Amp Hound 2 device I found the following fuses to have current.

Instrument panel
Fuse 14 - EIS [EZS] control unit: 7.5 amp

Luggage compartment/trunk
Fuse 41 - Overhead control panel control unit: 25 amp

Fuse 14 is pulling 0.1 amps
Fuse 41 is pulling 0.06 amps

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Here is a little quote i found “
Parasitic draw
This is when electrical devices continue to draw power from the battery after the engine is off. A normal parasitic draw is between 50 and 85 milliamps for newer cars, and less than 50 milliamps for older cars. A parasitic draw that's too high can shorten the battery's life”
I would put a good 24 hr charge on the battery and start from there. I found that not all batteries get a good 100% charge from the alternator. When my GL or Ml start to sound a little weak on turning over .. I put them on a good charger .
So your .1 or 100 milliamp draw imo should not be causing any issues.
