Thank you man, I had this problem for at least a year... The days of battery-anxiety are finally over!

The fix worked for the drain issue. But should I install new module ? I have been using the fm transmitter, but the sound always distorted. Is the a point buying a new module ? Or software update ?

So does the radio work after unplugging the modular

Should I replace battery having disconnected the bluetooth module, have been jumping it for quite a few months now? Will that have weakened the battery?

Thank you sir!!! 2010 Lancer parasitic draw. Been baffled for a year or so, couple dead batteries. Just went to take it out, got my Infrared thermometer, 92.8 F... Car has been sitting in a garage all day and night at 59 degree F. Gotta wait and see but I think that was it. Bluetooth went out on this car like 2 years ago. Thank you.

LIFE SAVER! Never thought of trying this. By touch it was so so hot

I’m wondering if the high failure rate has to do with the proximity to the blower heater in that car. I bought my parents’ old 08 Outlander off of them back in 2014 or 2015 and drove it until 2021. In the time that I owned it, I bought and installed the Bluetooth unit that they had declined as an option when they bought it and paid the dealer to do the programming to make it work, as I had gotten accustomed to Bluetooth in my previous car by that time. Anyway my point being, in the Outlander, the module mounting point is way down in the center console directly underneath the head unit and far away from any of the heating and cooling apparatus. I don’t know the failure rate in that car, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was significantly lower on average

Thank you so much for making my life easy without doing hardly any diagnosis, it was my module

😂 thanks allot you save me from a lot ran ant money 💰

Masterpiece.

Thank you based electrical investigator!. At the start of this problem I almost bought a new battery, than identified that the audio system was draining the battery, removed the fuse and drove around with a Marshall bluetooth-speaker pressed between the windshield and dash, for the last couple of months. :D Just found my stubby screwdriver, and i feel I will be enjoying that factory Rockford Fosdale subwoofer shortly! Thank You again! And the silliest part of this whole bull***t is that I have never even once used that hands-free Bluetooth module connection/feature in my Lanca' since I bought the car brand new, back in 2009. Because the whole setup between the car and phone and the interface seemed un-intuitive.

One question please for whom who had experienced the same problem and disabled Bluetooth module... Do I need to remove the module, shouldnt unplugging solve the issue ?

Thanks

you the man

Yep, thank you so much! Same problem with Lancer GTS 2015.

Nice

🔥

china funny

Thanks. Mitsubishi have a werrrrry big problems with BT module.

Are you going to put back the fuse so i can use the radio

Thank you for this! I've had the same problem for several years, just been living with it and hooking up a battery charger each time I go too long without driving it. I knew about the lousy Bluetooth module from finding a forum post a couple of years ago, but until I saw this video I thought it was something I'd have to have a mechanic fix for me!

Add my dad to the list. Bluetooth module was drawing about half an amp while it was off and locked. He doesn't use the Bluetooth anyway so just took out the unit. Thank you!

Didn't fix mine

Have the same current but dont have the module bluetooht

Its 2022 and i just encounter this problem after owning my 2010 gts for over 5 years. Why havent mitsubishi made a recall for this yet? Battery finally stopped dieing over night after removing bluetooth module connector.

My 2016 lancer es sport’s Bluetooth doesn’t show up anymore, the option to connect or the voice command system has disappeared… Help

Would the parasitic draw cause the abs light to come on and of on start up?

When you "pop that plastic rivet back in there" (5:19), you have to pop that center circle that is surrounded by the + shape, not the entire circular thing including the + shape. Only try to pop the center small circle. And yes, you definitely want a stubby screwdriver. Don't try it with a full-size screwdriver unless you want to strip the screw head.

I just pulled mine out today. Great video!

Great job brother

Big thanks my guy. As I was watching this my dad narrowed it down to the fuse 7 haha. Was magnificent timing

I had the same problem on my 2009 Lancer with the BLUETOOTH MODULE ! I disconnected and everything is okay, no problem with the battery. The problem now is the radio go on but no sound coming out of the spearker or no beeping sound when I touch the icon on the screen. Do you have any idea what might be the problem? Any help will be appreciated, feeling frustrated!!

Hi, nice job man, i have the same problem ;) to a lancer sportback of 2010

Thanks very much! My module was indeed hot and the car has been off for several hours. Removed the module hopefully it resolves my drain.

Thank you !

Omg you are my life saver I have an 08 VR-X lancer for the past week I have been having a massive drain could not find it even the auto elec couldn’t I’m almost certain this is my issue that and a non factory phone charger installed. I also have to add this is the best car vid I have watched Simple easy to follow love ur humour keep up the amazing videos

THANK YOU! I have a 2010 Lancer ES that had to be jumped when it sat for more that 2 days, even with a new battery installed. I pulled the glove box and accessed the Bluetooth module just like you said to. It was very hot. I unplugged it and the current drain went from 0.46ma to 0.04ma. I never use the Bluetooth so I left it unplugged and now the car battery stays charged. Thank you again for this video.

Thank you so much! Had the same issue! Saved me hours

@Dareido I've been looking in the web something similar a the problem you described, and as I seen,the problem of a bunch in here, including me. Thank you so much!!!!!

Hey so i brought a 2008 Mitsubishi lancer GTS. When i brought it i was notified of this issue. The guy said it dies if i let it sit for 2 days. I didnt even know the car had bluetooth.. lol Is this the problem? He sold it to me for $500 less because of this😭

Thank you! This helped me a lot.

wow this video is great. I recently bought a used lancer sportback and have been going through hell trying to figure out why the Bluetooth wasn't working. I ended up getting a used module on Ebay and it was super hot as soon as I plugged it up. Could it be something else wrong with the car or did I just end up with another bad module?

Jan 2021. Add me to the list. Had the same issue, pulled the Bluetooth module and no more drain. Thanks for the vid. Saved me some money!

Just removed it. Wasn't working anyways and ever since it broke, I have been having a power issue. Hopefully this worked. Will update in a couple weeks

Just removed mine... it was also hot hopefully fixes my issue.. gets old jumping your car all the time.

2009 Ralliart battery kept draining every other day or so, which eventually led to it dying every couple of hours when not in use. Tried this before taking it to an electrician or doing a parasitic drain test, and it has worked. Car hasn't died in over 3 days of being idle, Thank You! Note: Never even used the Bluetooth feature in my car yet somehow this was draining my battery

Thanks your post helped me .been trying for ages ..new module 👍👍👍

Thanks for the video! Solved the issue on my 08 lancer!

Temporary fix for people who don’t have time, want to delay, or don’t want to get handsy; (Its worked for me, don’t know if it will work for anyone else) Turn the inside temp to a very low temperature (64F/65F) and set the temp speed to at least half. The bluetooth module can still work after overheating, but is very liable to kill the car’s battery charge again. Since the AC piping is metal, and runs close to the module and blower motor, the cold air running through the pipe can emit enough coldness that it keeps the Bluetooth module at bay. The most important thing is to park in shade, away from direct sunlight, or where it’s not hot enough to overheat the module.

If replacing it, would I need another OEM module or can I switch to a different module? And if I switch to a different module, what else would I need to replace too, if any?
