and which fuse doth the offender suck from
Subject: Re: [MBZ] Electric drain/fuses
Well, something kills Wilton's battery in under a week. Ruined the old
battery and is working on destroying the new one.
So what's the parasitic current draw from the battery,
and which fuse doth the offender suck from? This is
an easy test with a multimeter
light, elec. illum. control) was only one drawing (101 mA) with key
off. What
That's a lot. I think of 20mA as a lot.
is elec. illum. control? 'They talking 'bout inst. illum. control
(inst lighting rheostat), or what?
Might be the timed dome light.
What is seat jacket tube adjustment
It's the relay that keeps the interior lights on for a time after you
close the door.
As I said earlier, a common cause for running the battery flat, as it
will soon start to draw an amop or so.

If I recall correctly, the drivers seat adjustment is always hot
because you can change the seat settings without the ignition being
on.

'My thought, too, but #15 with 12v is also labeled seat memory, but fuse B
is just labeled adjustment.

On my 91 350SDL (126), fuse B (front seat adjustment, jacket tube
adjustment) in the main fuse panel has .12v (yes, that's point 12 - 12

key OFF? (BTW, fuse A
