Hello, all. This is my first post...I have a 1997 Explorer Sport that is experiencing some battery draw down when parked. I have narrowed down to the following...

Key off, doors closed, hood up (with under hood light disconnected) = 0.60 A draw

Fuse 27 (Under hood lamp, map lamps, glove box lamp,dome lamp, visor
lamps, accessory delay, dimmer switch illumination, 4x4system) pulled = .40 A draw

Fuse 25 (Speedometer, GEM system) pulled = .20 A draw

Fuse 8 in Power distribution panel under hood (Battery saver relay and headlamp relay) = 0.01 A draw

Can anybody help me to figure out what to do next (other than remove my battery cable every night) ?

Thanks in advance,
Sam
:p:

Bumping this up....

I've pulled each relay in the under hood panel and the rear panel and still no change from the battery draw down issue. 0.50 A normal, 0.30 A with fuse 27 pulled, 0.09 A with fuse 27 and 25 pulled and 0.01A with fuse 27,fuse25 and under hood mini fuse 8 pulled. Replaced ground strap under drivers door as it was corroded...Help! This is driving me nuts!!!!:mad:
