hello,
I inherited a 2003 mustang v6. battery drains after two days of sitting. disconnected battery and put voltmeter between battery and post on 10A setting. Get draw of 8.8A that goes down to 8.4A after a few minutes. Stays at 8.4A. Disconnected the alternator and no change. Started pulling the under dash fuses and I honestly forget which of the 40A fuses got rid of the drain, but it wast specific enough to help me. I then started yanking fuses under the dash. eventually the 5amp fuse that I believe is for the GEM module got the drain to .02A.Fuse is right side of panel third fuse down. I searched on the internet and see the GEM module controls a lot of things. My interior light stays on and the drivers window does no go down. I then opened the door panel. I then removed the window and lock switches. Neither did anything for the drain. I them unplugged the window motor connector on the door. No change still draining. I then removed the door light switch near the door lock mechanism. No change still draining 8.4A.
Seats are manual. No other noticeable problems with the car. Starts, runs and shifts fine. AC works great.
Any suggestions appreciated.
