Untraceable 4.6A Current Draw
Greetings Experts,
I'm experiencing a large current draw that I cannot seem to trace. I believe my car has had a parasitic current draw for a few years now, as the battery would be dead after a week of inactivity and I have to replace the battery every year.
However after heavy rains two weeks ago, the current draw seems to have increased (4.6A on the multimeter). I tried removing the small form-factor fuses, both in the engine compartment (as outlined in red in the picture) and the passenger comportment, but so far, no dice.
Once I jump start the car, it seem to run normally and recharges the battery, if only for a bit. I am therefore curious to see if anyone has suggestions how to further troubleshoot the cause of the draw.
