Re: Battery is draining 3amp
Writing the rest of my repair story in case it helps someone. I had initially towed my car to a local mechanic. The car stayed there more than 2 weeks, during this time I had several phone calls about the repair status. The mechanic only mumbled about the error codes but they couldn't detect the iss...

Re: Battery is draining 3amp
Follow the red cables to where you will find 2 connector blocks close to the REM under the removable foam corner pad. Check the connector blocks on the red cables for corrosion. Very good guess precopster, you are right! I checked and saw that actually the red plastic covering cables lost its elast...

Re: Battery is draining 3amp
abscate thanks for the message. 3amp reading was when I disconnect the negative wire to the battery and place the ammeter in between. Today when I put double checked the fuses. I tested each cable connection above. Total drain was 5.60amp. Below are each readings. Looks like the last one draining a ...

Re: Battery is draining 3amp
precopster thank you so much for the information. I couldn't try as now seems even bigger problems with the car. Today when I removed all fuses and relays at the same time, the current drain dropped to 0.2amp. I had to remove the fuses together (not one at a time) to detect the ones that are causing...

Re: Battery is draining 3amp
I think I will deal with SRS message later since now I even can't start the car. But I got my lesson about procrastinating the issue. I couldn't locate the red cable to the alternator. Alternator is difficult to reach in XC90. However, there are two red cables connected in the engine fuse compartmen...

Re: Battery is draining 3amp
It is 3.2L 6 cylinder model. Yes, it is a lot of current which drains battery in a few hours. I already got an SRS Airbag error message. I was thinking this is because I forgot to put back one of the fuses... (I havent played with the "fuses by the battery"). Is that a bad news? I will try...

2007XC90 Battery is draining 3amp (Bad ALT Diode)
Hello all, I have a 2007 XC90, which is draining about 3amp when car is turned off. After few hours, car doesn't start without a jump start. I tested the current draw before and after removing each fuse (and the relays in the engine fuse-box). Still draining the same amount regardless. I want to che...
