98 Explorer eddie bauer
Hi hoping someone can help me here. Going crazy try to track this down. Im getting a dead battery if my 1998 Ford Explore Eddie Bauer sits more than a day. I put my meter in line and I find the following with letting it sit awhile Im getting 0.218ma draw if I pull fuse #25 which says it for the General Electronics Module and Pats Instrument Cluster, Speedometer module it drops to 00.12ma on my meter so Im thinking my issue is there I dont see any change on any other fuse. I searched to see if I could find a way to check those modules or where there at or which it could be with no luck. Any ideas where to start?

Watch this video from 13:00 to 20:00 and it can give you some insight to troubleshooting a battery drain issue.
 






Have you checked your battery as an issue?
 






I have and even replace it. It worse when it’s cold out side. Prior owner had the same issue they replaced the battery and the alternator.
 






Any aftermarket electronics wired in?
 






Just a replacement stereo. I did pull the fuse to see if there was any power draw and left it out a few days and that didn’t change anything.
