Using DVOM in series with the BAT Neg and the Neg Cable measuring current while pulling fuses one by one with the vehicle asleep is a good technique for isolating the circuit with an unwanted draw. Pulling fuses can wake up systems and it it necessary to wait for the current to settle.

Here are some excellent youtube videos to learn from as well.

An acceptable draw is <50mA

Although you have codes, identifying the circuit will more than likely help with the codes.

If you can identify the circuit, I can assist with a wiring diagram to further help.

Thank you I'm always trying to learn I used a multimeter in the mv mode and found no draw today I'm gonna check again tomorrow I belive it's in the security system the other day it would go off every 5 minutes and the rear spoiler would go up on its own but couldn't get it to do it again

Here is the antitheft wiring diagram:



Looks like you can check fuses 25 and 26 the power feeds for the CLPSM for an unwanted draw while the vehicle is asleep.

In your case a scope would be very handy because you could monitor the COM lines for module activity/inactivity. You could possibly
have a module not going to sleep because of a bad input.

But without one at least use your DVOM in current measuring mode in series with the neg Bat cable, wait at least 1/2 hr monitoring the meter till it settles on a fixed number, the car should be "asleep".

To put this car to sleep so it can be worked on, the Doors, Hood, need to be latched. You can google youtube vids on this.

Based on the symptoms you stated I would be very curious to see what these two fuses are doing.

Do I use my DVOM with a amp clamp ? I did do a parasitic draw test the fuse I found to have a 200 ma draw on was the #9 fuse, thank you for the great print are these color coated prints free somewhere

In series at the battery you can use the DVOM in AMP measuring mode. But in this case since you found a draw across fuse #9, start there in Volts mode with your DVOM!

...are these color coated prints free somewhere?


Unfortunately no these diagrams are from suppliers like ALLDATA, Mitchell, Shopkey, etc. They are subscription based. You can however purchase from www.alldata.com/diy-us/en/diy-repair-information a single use subsciption for a very low price.

The next step would be to unplug both the Siren then the Anti-theft tow sensor. Which one stops the draw over fuse #9 when unplugged?

Looks like you need to remove the wipers and then the cowl to get at the siren and a trim panel at the back for the tow sensor.




Both of these could have green crusties at the connectors because of water intrusion, inspect the connectors carefully.
