Parasitic Current Draw Repair
Parasitic draw repair follows identification of the circuit consuming excessive energy while parked. The cause may be a faulty consumer, damaged wiring, added equipment or a module that fails to sleep. The repair addresses the confirmed cause rather than disabling a useful function without approval. Consumption is then checked again in the appropriate vehicle state. Battery condition is explained separately: removing the unwanted load will not restore a battery already damaged by repeated discharge.
Symptoms
- Confirmed excessive consumption while parked.
- Recurring discharge caused by a located electrical fault.
What's included
- Confirm the located source of excessive consumption.
- Agree on repair of the consumer, connection or wiring.
- Correct the confirmed fault while retaining required functions.
- Recheck consumption after the vehicle enters sleep mode.
Why it matters
Repeated discharge can degrade the battery. After repair, both current consumption and continued battery serviceability need checking.
