  • I left the drain alone cut it by half at .18 - .25 AMP We will se if it is good enough for this customer. he has 2x w211 here with me. Same issue. Make sure to replace the clips going around the trunk area they leak water into trunk. Rubber on them goes bad.

    since I changed the power supply of the radio/media station, with fuse 8 and disconnected the electrical controls of the front saws, I no longer have any problems with battery discharge for a week... to know all the same that these models have servers on all floors and still consume electrical energy even when idle... the ideal is to have a mini charger / maintenance that you can put on from time to time if you are not using not every day of his car... Thank you very much for this video at the time which helped me a lot for an E 200 from 2005 elegance... Best regards

    Hi there - it is most likely to be your alarm siren that is draining your battery. The way to ensure it is the siren is to fully charge your battery and lock the car manually (not activating the alarm). Leave the car for few days (eg: 2days ) and see if on the 3rd day the battery drains out. If it does, therefore - your issue will be somewhere else. PS: Factory fitted alarm has battery that leak over the circuit board - causing electrical issues. Best of luck and let us know how it goes.

      This week the siren was replaced. It started to drain 2Amps. And lost communication. Also the seat module went bad 3amp drain and a fuel pump relay fell apart. This car keeps braking for the guy.

    What makes the beep beep beep noise when you lock this car? In mine the noise keeps getting fainter, now I need to put my ears on the hood when I lock the car to even hear it, it’s so faint.

    I've had various causes for drains on MBs.
    On an R500, I had a failed cluster module - it still worked, it just kept all the audio modules awake. The diag consisted of connecting DAS to the CAN buses and watching to see 'who' (in this case, the KOMBI/CLUSTER) was keeping the bus wake.
    On my 05 E500 - water leaking into trunk corroded a connector on the right side of the car, where I think the satellite radio module would connect just below the right side hinge, behind the interior covers. When this connector corroded, it bridged 12v to my pink wire CAN - this fired the COMAND head-unit. Eventually the corrosion bridge to ground and popped a 5a fuse in the trunk PRE-fuse where the spare is.
    SO, in some cases, you can pull a fuse and stop the draw but that may not indicate WHY a module is drawing. In the cases above, one module was bad but disconnecting the AGW saved the battery - but was not the problem. In another case, voltage leaked to the BUS, which then killed COMAND.

    Did you pull the power connector from the passenger seat? Drivers seat? Those are common draw issues. I also found fuse 8 in my w209 pulls .1 amp. Pulled it and got the drain down to .01. put it back in since I need it for the locks. was thinking of putting a remote relay in for the security system power. PITA electronics in a super reliable car. Also you can find draw without pulling the fuse by measuring mv across the fuse. search u tube for car wizard battery drain on his slk320. Thx for the vid, wish I found it before I found my #8 the hard way.

    My remote control FOB could not open my car door. I follow a U tuber posted solution.
    Take out the plastic cover at wheel arc. Took out the electric siren horn. Put back the Fuse 8 and it stays unblown. Then all powered door lockers get their power back & then could be opened by remote FOB.
    Fuse 8 supply battery power to how many pieces of equipment?.

      Recently I had relays mysteriously fall apart from old age. If the car cranks the fuel pump relay might be the culprit. It is the furthest down relay in the trunk fuse box. Left side of the trunk. Had 2 brake out of nowhere on this car actually this week.

      @@borntosilence3027 Check if the starter relay gets a signal. On w211 it is in the under hood fuse box. If relay gets a go ahead from ecm and relay is good your starter should crank unless it has bad ground or it is burnt. Once I got a car. All that was wrong was the starter relay. Little 4 dollar part. Car was parked for 2 years. I had the car started before tow truck guy dropped the car down when it arrived.
