Hi,
My battery keeps going flat due to a 180mA constant drain. Based upon this rate the car will not start after about 9 days. Battery is new and correct rating, the NavTrack unit is not connected.
Investigation points to the fuses F43 / F44 which relate to the passenger & driver power windows, but it appears theses fuses also control the door locking component in conjunction to the "Glass lifting Control Unit" as located within the passenger foot well?? When fuses F43 / F44 are removed the current drawn from the battery is virtually zero.
Searching on this forum somebody else had the same issue but the response suggested checking the micro switches within the doors, unfortunately there was no conclusion whether this was successful.
I am not sure if the micro switches is the culprit. The door locking does work and there is no issue with the operation of the electric windows including the "auto" drop / rise of the door glass when opening or closing the doors.
However what I did notice is a slight warmth of the "Glass lifting Control Unit" (part No. 192673) in the upper left section. (within the physical unit this is where the relays are located but I do not think they can be dismantled.
