current drain from fuse 1
My battery is draining in just a few days. The battery is 2 years old, I had it tested and it is okay. I started troubleshooting at the fuse panel with a current meter and the draw is nearly 300mA at the battery, with over 200mA being drawn by fuse 1, which is the CCU, I believe? Anyway, nothing is running after the key out(that I can tell), and everything seems to work fine with the CCU when the car is running. Any ideas? I am handy and can fix the CCU, if there is something I can replace. Any one have this problem?

If you suspect the CCU is the source of the current draw, try removing it and recheck the current drain without it. That will isolate if the CCU is the fault. If it is the CCU, see this page

In case someone else comes across this, I was able to source the resistors on ebay for $3.20 shipped for 50! (anyone need 1, or 20?) Finally got around to the repair tonight, my draw went from nearly 300mA to something like 15mA! Not too bad for such a cheap fix, that should allow my battery to hold a charge! Everything seems to work, now just have to go for a drive.
