Hi,
93 Taurus Wagon, 140k milesBattery goes flat when left for 48 hours When I put an ammeter in series with the battery current drain is 1.2 amp with ignition off and doors closed Battery is new Alternator has been replaced Current drain remains same at 1.2 amps if alternator terminals are disconnected.
If I remove Fuse #8, battery drain drops to 0.39 amp
Owners handbook says Fuse #8 covers Clock Radio memory Chime for keys in igniton Keyless entry system (this car does not have one)
Online Workshop Manaul says Fuse #8 covers Clock Radio Memory Glove Compartment Lamp Luggage Compartment Lamp Instrument Panel Courtesy Lamps Interior Lamps Illuminated/Keyless Entry Module Power Mirrors
Only thing I have discovered is that the turn signals do not work, neither left nor right. However the warning flashers DO work.
Have tried removing the electronic flasher unit but that makes no difference to the current drain problem.
Have also disconnected the Multi Function Switch but this also has no effect on the current drain problem
I will take a look at other systems listed for the fuse number but I suspect the non working turn signals is where the problem lies.
Anyone have any bright ideas.
Al Moodie.
