Hi All,
I've tried to get help for this by piggybacking on old posts, and have read through countless other threads to try and work out how to diagnose this issue myself - I just need some help interpreting what I've found please.
Battery reading 12.65v
Testing current between the negative terminal and lead with a multimeter it reads 2.64A
I knew fuse 36 was an issue, and removing that takes it down to 0.37A.
Problem solving what else could be causing the drain, I plugged fuse 36 back in and disconnected the following and noted the drop in current after each item was unplugged:
Driver's door leads unplugged = 2.55A (-0.09)
Passenger door leads unplugged = 2.38A (-0.17)
(Door leads total drop = 0.26)
Front interior bulb = 1.73A (-0.65)
Front interior 'spotlights' = 1.06A (-0.67)
Rear interior bulbs = 0.23A (-0.83)
Boot interior bulb = 0.23A (no change)
(Bulbs total drop = 2.15)
With all the bulbs out, plugging the door leads back in takes it up to 0.53A (+0.30)
Removing fuses (including those in the passenger footwell), these are the only ones that made any change to this:
Fuse 01 = 0.38A (-0.15)
Fuse 36 = 0.21A (-0.17)
Fuse 42 = 0.07 (-0.14)
Disconnecting the CCU took current from 0.53A (bulbs out, door leads and all fuses in) to 0.30A (-0.23).
It seems very similar to this issue, but the bulbs rather than the door controllers seem to make the biggest difference:

Does this give any indication to what is causing the problem?
What can I test/try next to help narrow it down?
Thanks in advance!
