Hi,
1995 E34 520i standard setup, no extras. BG94472
Does anyone know what circuits remain “LIVE” when the ignition is off?
The Alarm / immobilizer, radio (Business CD) memory, cigarette lighter are but a few.
I have a high drain (about 240 mil amps) I need to find the culprit.
Before I start, I would like to know what I could omit.
Thanks,
Joe

I think 100mA is top line so you def have a problem. Pull fuses till it goes away. That will narrow it down

Thanks.
There are a lot of fuses. I just hope to narrow it down.

Bo525i found his problem in the trunk harness. Scroll down a few posts, it's current.

Excuse the late thanks, I had a meeting to attend.
I saw that but it did not deal with my question.
