    You can get a pretty good amp meter on Amazon amzn.to/3X2YCNz

      Don't get this one. It's a 116 HVAC meter and only measures micro amps DC. Get a 117.

    I had the same on a diesel, turned out the glow plug relay was stuck in the open position so the plugs were constantly drawing current even with the ignition off 😕

    Amp clamp around cable is faster/less intrusive. And the ultimate now, instead of pulling fuses, is the Amp Hound? I think it's called. Voltage drop testing the fuses to find the faulty circuit, the Amp Hound was originally a chart I think to compare voltage drop and fuse rating to current, but i think they make test equipment now with feature built in. Some newer cars dont work well with the pull a fuse method.

      Yeah,, I tried that method and it was bull 💩. Didn’t work for me. Pulling stuff did. 😂

      Mine is the message board on top of the steering column. Any suggestions on how to get it to stay off during the night? That is my problem.

    Why does the seat modules do? So you unplug them and you cant move the seats? Heated seat doesn't work? Airbag?

    I had the same battery drain - I just removed the seat position fuses.

    I dont have a dead battery issue but im trying to find out why my 2010 C300 looses charge if I dont drive it. Seems it will lose around 10% a day when parked. I bought and installed a wireless bluetooth battery monitor so i can see exactly what the battery is doing. The battery state of charge will stay the same all night until around 6-7am and then it seems like the car wakes up and does stuff, the battery state of charge will go down 1% every half hour for a few hours, then stay the same. So its not constant. Im trying to see if this is normal.

      Can you tell me what battery monitor you purchased that you can looked at the logged data to determine when the battery was draining? Thanks

    • @zt8426
      @zt8426 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, i would like to know what monitor you bought as well. A relative has been through several batteries in 2 years on a 2011 c300.

      Mine is a 2007 C230. 65k miles. The battery is being rundown by the message board above the steering column staying on all night. If I don't drive it, Day 2, it sometimes will not crank. Any suggestions on how to get that message board to cut off @ night?

    Hey im having a similar problem. So when the battery is fresh my driver seat will be able to move. But if i park the car for a lil b4 the battery completely dies. The seat wont move anymore, then parked overnight battery is completely drained. Oh ya b the stearing wheel tilt wont work. So im tying the 2 together. What u think
