What to do if current draw from am1 Fuse goes away?
AM1 has various loads (at least on the petrol version) and not all ignition switched (e.g. dome lights) – pull their associated fuses to see if the parasitic draw goes away. If you have a current clamp (compact one with DC capability) you can clamp it over various parts of the AM1 feeds to narrow down the offending circuit.
What should I do if my Fuse drains my battery?
Unplugged gauge cluster > drops to 6.80 e. Unplugged ignition, wipers, turn signals > NO change. f. Unplugged the alternator and > NO change. g. All the windows work. h. All the door locks work. i. No alarm installed. j. I have a sub to www.alldatadiy.com and used it for the locations and diagrams but I am now at a loss.
What is the current draw on a fuse?
Amplifier: completely removed > NO CHANGE. Everything else is factory stock including radio. 1) Hooked up the meter in series to the negative battery cable. Meter reads 7.18 (20mA/10A scale) current draw. 2) UNDERHOOD – If I pull the: #15 40amp fuse labeled “ Back up, ACC” > the current draw drops to 0.48mA (seems acceptable from what I’ve read).
Can a 15A fuse increase the battery drain?
I pulled the 15A fuse for the radio from the under-dash box and it actually made the drain INCREASE, but by only 0.01A (to 0.07). I guess I’ll just start pulling everything till it goes away.
What happens when I remove the back up Fuse?
I found out that when I remove the BACK UP fuse (7.5A, but there’s a 10A in its place) from the under-hood fuse box, the fluctuating current draw stops and stabilizes at a constant 0.06A. According to my PDF Helms manual, the BACK UP fuse is used for clearing codes of the TCM, the radio code, radio presets and clock.

Why does my Fuse keep draining my battery?
When i would turn the key all the lights would dim, because of the massive current draw to a bad starter. The current draw to the fuse was actually the computer which takes a while to shut down after you take the key out. thank you once again for all the support. Click to expand…
