Meter set to 10a DC.
My draw on the Battery is 0.39. As I pulled the 7.5a under hood fuse, the draw went to 0.02. I didn't want to leave that fuse out because it controlled other things, so I put it back in. One of 7.5a fuse controls is the "automatic seat belt control unit". So I diognosed that first. I unplugged the connectors from the unit- checked the draw- and it read "0.02. Control unit perhaps?

Swapped it with "two" junkyard control units. Both still had a 0.39 draw.

Installed the original control unit and unplugged the passenger seat belt connector solenoid under the seat- drain test 0.22

With that still disconnected, I also disconnected the drivers seat belt connector solenoid- drain test- 0.04 to 0.05. Is it the seat belt solonoid? or the control unit?

My seat belts work fine but once in a blue moon the belt retractor locks while the belt on the track is trying to go back.

I know theres a lifetime warranty on the seat belts but I'd like to diognose this one myself before a get a free replacement.

Thanks for the help

 

I read a thread on here about an electrical problem. I'm looking for the guy who knows his stuff. anybody?

 

ok first off if you want to establish WHERE its coming from, start pulling fuses. watch the DMM and if you see it DROP then you know what system its in.

Oh, and i didnt really read the OP cause its to long for me lol

 

Yeah, You gotta read my post.

 

Bump

 

haha yeah i do lol
just read it finally haha
But i think the warranty would cover it. After goin through my head the last day i cant see what the draw would be caused by. so just try to warranty it out?

 

almost positive the seatbelt warranty doesn't cover electrical components like power mechanisms.

 

I brought the car to the dealer for the seat belt warranty, I was hoping they would replace the side seat solenoid retractors. (those are giving me the current drain) They said nothing mechanically was wrong with it. I agree to that though.

I need to go to the yards to swapped these guys out to prove my theory.

 

thats a crimped wire somewhere

 

Where do you think it is?
