Car Forum / Volkswagen / Water Cooled Volkswagen Cars / June 2009Current Leak in 93 Corrado SLC
My battery runs down after a few days idle. The battery has been replaced. The alternator and regulator checked okay. The mechanic measures a current leak that does not go away as each fuse and relay is pulled but does go away when the entire fuse panel is disconnected. Any thoughts?

A corrosion track somewhere in the fuse panel directly to ground. Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA Any other electrical issues? Doors that lock or unlock by themselves? Windows that go up by themselves? Or like pfjw said, some corrosion issue with the fuse panel or wiring or relays or switches or radio or trunk light or glove box light. Pull out ALL of the fuses and relays to see if the drain still exists. If no drain, replace fuses and relays one by one looking for a drain, since there might be more than one drain! ;-) JMHO  Signaturelater, (One out of many daves) On Jun 9, 7:54 am, riko...@earthlink.net wrote: > My battery runs down after a few days idle.
