To start with: Always disconnect the negative (ground) cable from the battery FIRST, NOT the positive!
Obviously at 6-9A battery drain, nothing is going to work right; you have to find the source of it.
How did you measure thar drain?
The stickies on this and benzworld will help you on this.
Good luck!
Based upon your descriptions, there are a lot of possible problems. Let's start trying to sort them out.
A battery drain of 6-9 Amps is a serious problem - if it is real. How did you measure the current draw? Please be very specific, including the type of meter used, how it was connected, and so forth.
Is the battery fully charged? Are you disconnecting the battery earth cable between trials and tests?
Are the battery connections clean and bright? This means both sides of every connection.
If you turn the ignition, the air conditioning and headlamps all on at once, are the headlamps bright?
Thanks all,
the fuel pump relay got damage i have replaced after sam replacement
now car atarted, now the comand radio not working as well as voice control, i check rear unit i found only one looks affected by water,
A2118202385

A2208204085 looks fine after opening
SRS alarm also generated

digital multi meter, I believe some equipment that standby need to operate like airmatic pump that all cause this high current
Is the battery fully charged? Are you disconnecting the battery earth cable between trials and tests?
now i have charge battery until 12.8V looks fine start and stop without problem but 12.6V showing on cluster
Are the battery connections clean and bright? This means both sides of every connection. yes
If you turn the ignition, the air conditioning and headlamps all on at once, are the headlamps bright? I didn’t verify this, but yesterday i notice some display error coming and remote got stop because of one connector under passenger seat i just disconnect it and now almost all fine
what remains almost comand screen and voice control with srs
To start with: Always disconnect the negative (ground) cable from the battery FIRST, NOT the positive! this i am not aware of it before, now i am doing in this way
Obviously at 6-9A battery drain, nothing is going to work right; you have to find the source of it. actually no after car started normal
