Cesar F Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Hi everyone, I'm new in this forum. I own a 2008 Ford Edge SEL. I'm having issues with a battery drain that occurs while the car is parked and the ignition is OFF. I charged the battery (slow charge of 3 amps) during the weekend and tested the alternator on Monday. Both battery and alternator are OK. Then, with a multimeter, I tested every fuse, under the hood and inside the driver's compartment. I'm having a reading of 0.7 amps (car parked, ignition OFF, every door closed, etc) with every fuse of the car connected, BUT it goes down to 0.01 amps when I disconnect fuses #5 and #26. Both of them have something to do with the instruments panel. So, does anyone knows if the instruments panel has a relay that I could take a look at and/or can point out what else can I do to solve this. Thanks in advance!

akirby Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 First things first. How old is the battery and how do you know it’s good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is 3 months old, charged it all weekend and it keeps its charge, unless it stays connected to the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
