I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I just woke up the other morning and tried to start my Edge and it was flat dead. Jumped it and it started just fine. I came home last night and started my parasitic draw test. I was hovering around 750 mA current draw with the vehicle off and keys out of ignition. Started pulling fuses and when I finally got to Fuse #5, it dropped to 30 mA. Fuse #5 is listed as:
The only thing I can think of is an after market security system I had installed. When the car is remote started, if I don't put the key in the ignition and press the brake the car shuts off, so somehow the system must be tied into the brake shit interlock system? Anybody got any better suggestions of things to check? Thanks.
Wow I have the same issue down to the 750mA draw and pulling Fuse #5 dropping it to about 30mA. Did you ever figure out what was causing your issue?
Is 30mA the correct draw for sleep mode?
No aftermarket things on this vehicle though, so I'm guessing it wasn't your security system since the numbers seem to match exactly.
Keypad illumination means the LED light behind the keyless entry pad on the door?
2nd row seat means those 2 buttons that release the seats to fold down?
Brake shift interlock is in the column shifter or around the brake pedal?
The idea is to unplug these modules with Fuse #5 plugged in and see which of them causes the drop to 30mA?
Any ideas for how to do this? Seems to require getting under a lot of trim panels.
