Hello all, this is my first post. I am in need of help regarding an electrical issue plaguing my 2009 grand caravan.
My newish battery drains nightly.
The problem has been traced to the IOD 60a fuse. With this pulled, the draw is around 30ma - within specs.
With fuse installed, the ammeter shows 1.45A drawn for about 10 seconds, then 0.5A for about 25 seconds.
I know this fuse supports all feeds outside the ignition switch/// alarm, interior lights, radio, etc. There are countless circuits attached to this one fuse which are not in turn fused, which makes for a very difficult diagnosis.
I was hoping someone might have seen this same phenomenon, and can point me to the culprit(s).

Thank you in advance!

 

May not be relevant on your 2009 but on my 2007 I eventually traced the drain to the audio amp which is not on the IOD fuse. The amp on my model was mounted inside the rear panel where it can collect condensation. The plug connector had oxidised and was shorting out.

Mines was because there had been an after market stereo fitted at some point. A switched live had been altered to give a permanent live.
