Is there a spec for the current drain on the clock/radio fuse? I see about 60-70mA (0.060 Amps) being pulled on that fuse when the car is off. This is pretty stable draw for a long time after turning off the car. Without this fuse i get 3-4mA draw.

Just wondering if this is within spec or if I have to start trying to chase down a problem. There seems to be quite a bit of stuff connected to this fuse that would draw current when the car is off (radio, door locks, immobilizer, etc..).

My car is 100% stock. No radio addons. I can't see any lights on in the car (unless I missed one).

under 30mA is acceptable

 

Usually under 50 is acceptable depending on what the car also has. Anything related to security will increase the draw, as well as some of the ECU components.

 

Yah no extra security stuff on the car. I guess I will have to go hunting.

Has anyone else had this issue? (i did do a search). I will probably start with the grounds and go from there. The stereo was not the issue (easiest thing to pull).
