1997 S90 Strange current draw on audio circuit, even with stereo disconnected

Post by crazytooguy »

My S90 is drawing excessive current on the "Audio" circuit (fuse 18 in the drivers side fuse panel) even though the stereo unit is disconnected. It's roughly 2 amps. I've tried wiggling the wire bundles under the dash, but no change. Is there something else connected to the "Audio" circuit besides the in dash unit?

Thanks!

Fuse 18 is connected to the head unit and the power harness for the optional CD changer.
