It would take careful analysis of the data bus and each data packet to determine the exact cause.


That's a good point. Like mentioned above liquid got into the electrics under the arm rest and caused a similar problem. Replacing the dash unit may not help although I think he said he unplugged it (removed from dash) and the parasitic drain went away. Anxiously awaiting the result
