Hi Y'all!
Concerning my 2005 SLK 350, I have a 94ma parasitic battery draw that is driving me crazy! Pulled all fuses and relays. Draw remains. But...this draw is off and on from 94ma to 12ma and back to 94ma. Now, when I lock the vehicle, all lighting stays off and the drain disappears.
I did notice this morning (in the darkness) that the door surround lights go off and on. Seems to coincide with the parasitic draw. Noticed this with the doors closed and looking down between the door and sill while closed. I believe this may be my draw, but can't figure out why this is doing it.
The door switches are fine and if they were bad, why both doors?
OK, now the question. Does anyone know what causes the door surround light to go off and on about every 10 seconds?
