Battery drain. :(

Well after removing the radio it seemed better, but its only lasting about 5 days now before it will barely turn over.
Seems my friend Jim [a member on here] is also having similar troubles, just have to wait till its a little warmer then start unplugging everything one at a time.

Yeah, the best thing you can do in that case is pull the fuses. Take a meter and measure the drain for each circuit until you find the culprit and that can help you narrow it down considerably.

Well i'm still pulling fuses [also unplugged the courtesy module in the trunk] but can anyone explain why there are 2 fuses listed as covering the radio?
Fuses 8 and 11 ?

Probably 1 for the memory and 1 for the amps

Ok here is the fix for my particular car.
It was the Air Bag Module. So how did I find it?
I got in to start it a few weeks ago and there was that smell of something burning, then nothing but, the air bag light started flashing but not regularly, looking on the net I checked and the module fuse had blown, putting in another, same thing.
So I first inspected the steering wheel and all seemed well, next I went for the module located at the front of the console, pulled it out and it stunk of burning electrics. Found one on e-bay for £40 next day delivery and left the car [as I have my new one] for 2 weeks, and bingo, first time start.
So it seems the problem was that, though i'm sure it wont apply to everyone.
