Parasitic Battery Draw

[Kelly M]

I have a 2011 Edge Limited AWD.  At first the backup camera only works 1 out of 20 tries.  That has been happening for over a year now.  Sometimes it is upside down, sometimes it has colored lines, and sometimes it is just black.  I am on my second new battery this year.  I found out how to check for what is using the battery with a multi-meter.  I appears to be the Radio.  It is pulling 0.4 amps constantly.  That should be closer to 30 milliamps.  Car won't start every three days yet it get driven daily.  If I pull the fuse the A/C won't work.  Any advise on what to do?

 

Thanks

What model and what year? This really matters. What type of battery? How old? What’s the cold cranking amps? What’s your weather?
