2001 X5 Won't start off own Battery - Help!!!

[vandenham]

TerminatorX5 - I'm afraid I haven't caught my gremlin yet. The rear hatch wiring was bad and it is now fixed, but the battery started to die again.

I am now working through the power drain caused by fuse #43. The clock display on the MID does not go out when the key is turned off and this seems to be preventing the car from going to sleep (if I pull fuse 43 the car does go to sleep). Once I figure it out (if I can), I'll start another post to describe how I fixed it (or ask for more help). These battery drain issues are really hard to figure out because of all the signal lines that tell the car's computers to fire up stuff.
