So I am trying to track down a drain that kills my battery after a few days of sitting on my 97 B4V GLX conversion. I disconnected the battery and put a test light in series between the cable and the lug. I removed all the fuses (at the same time) under the dash but the drain was still there. I pulled the alternator wire to no avail. I also pulled the 20A fuse and adjacent bar fuse from the box above the bat but no fix. The leak is about 30 mA.
I pulled the individual small terminals from the positive battery wire terminal and found the leak to be coming from the largest of the four wires.
Now the things to note are the power windows always work, even when the key is out of the ignition. This may be related to a water leak from the sun roof drain. Also, I found the glow plug fuse (the bar fuse next to the N75 solenoid) was blown, and the housing was fried.
Thank you in advance help in solving this pesky gremlin.
