0.01 = 1/100 of an amp, that is acceptable and sounds like normal. 0.06 is also not too bad. Sure hope this isn't "fixing" itself while you are looking. Follow Jim's advice, put some remote measuring device on it so you can close up all the doors and hood, and then let it sit for awhile to see

I finished doing the rear fuse box. I’m in the back with all doors closed lights off and let it settle down a few minutes first. I never came up with any conclusions. After a while it would drop to .06 and stay there a while. It’s now down to .01. I am thinking .06 to .01 is probably about

SWMBO's Infiniti has an alarm system that stays on high alert if anything is open, like the trunk or hood. I was diagnosing a high current drain, decided to ask online in a forum before I spent hours pulling fuses, and got an immediate answer to close all the doors and trunk and then tape down

Harbor Fright has such a device, I have one. It has a plug that mimics a blade fuse with an ammeter attached to it. About $14, if I recall. -D > On Jun 19, 2021, at 12:08 PM, Meade Dillon via Mercedes > wrote: > > Dig online first, figure out what the common reasons are, and try those. > You

Dig online first, figure out what the common reasons are, and try those. You may get lucky. Maybe some computer somewhere thinks it needs to keep working day and night. Radio amp staying on, or something easy like that. Would be nice if someone made a meter adapter for those blade fuses, so you
