Hi all, newbie here. just bought a 2007 limited el and it's been great for about 2 months, then all of a sudden, battery goes dead. Did some research and began testing to find there is about a 9 amp draw when there should be just milliamps. I've found that by pulling fuses #5 has about a 6 amp draw and fuse #3 about 1 amp. There is still another 2 amps that are still draining regardless of fuses pulled. Also, relay #55 under the hood makes some strange clicky sounds, but does not alter current draw if I remove it. This has really got me puzzled and don't know where to start. Do I need to take to dealer? The #3 is marked FES, I don't even know what that means. The #5 is very important and I can't drive without it as this fuse controls the shifter and won't go into gear unless it is enabled. The #5 fuse is for; Keypad illumination, 3rd row seat enable,Brake Shift Interlock (BSI). SPDJB, TPMS initiators. I can jump start the car and it runs great and all functions seem to work perfectly, except massive battery drain. When shut off, battery will drain very quickly. Any help at all would be so greatly appreciated. Thanks.
