Exactly. So at this point - based off the testing, everyone else's experiences, AND the rust on the FEM, I'm going to take the risk and see if I can get one off eBay. I think if I get the one that's for my exact model it might just be a plug and play. Either way I can get it programmed if needed.
LOL damn I messed that up bad. I meant DATC. So without any fuses pulled it would sit around .80 after 30 minutes. However, it would go to 0.01 after 30 minutes IF the green fuse was pulled (the main green one that seems to connect to everythingin the trunk bay). I know that doesn't mean that...
Okay, so it seems that everything points to the FEM being the culprit here. The multimeter had a .70 reading, which was no surprise because it killed my car overnight.
Upon pulling the fuses it seemed that the ones associated with the FEM wouldn't go into standby mode like they should so...
Checked the lights, everything turns off as it should (including the trunk, glove box, etc.). Checked the battery terminal chassis contact and it was a bit less than ideal but very minor so I gave it a sand down. I guess I'll have to borrow a multimeter cause I can't find mine at the moment...
It's not even a month old yet. I had two new batteries in my car within 2 months, because I suspected the new one I bought before my current one was a dud so I exchanged it. Obviously now that wasn't the case.
Nope. Everything is factory as far as I can tell. The only thing I installed aftermarket was a radio, but I've had that in for over a year at this point.
Haven't had the alternator tested but I'm taking it to a shop next week. Parasitic draw is what I feared unfortunately. How much of a hassle and cost was it to fix your AC cluster?
Every morning I go to start it, the system struggles and my alarm goes off. I have to jump it with my booster pack to get it going and even then it barely starts.
It runs fine while it's up and running, and the battery doesn't die again until I leave it overnight.
Can I leave the battery...
It stained the 'squishy' material, I'm not sure if it's vinyl or some sort of soft plastic.
The sanitizer left a white stain and when I wiped it off with a tissue some black colouring came with it. I'm guessing it ate through the dye (or paint?).
Is there any product I can use to restore the...
Yeah I gotcha. I wasn't trying to be intentionally vague. I heard people say O-rings like this would fit on an LS in case of an oil leak or something similar, what do you think?
