FSR FSU Fuse 64 Orange light stays lit(Battery Drain)

[Qsilver7]

Is the problem that the vehicle's battery is dying...or is it just the orange light?

If the battery is dying...how old is the battery? Have you ruled out that it has sulfated and no longer a viable battery? What is it's voltage before starting the engine (run TEST 9 with ignition in position 1)?

And again, with the orange light...it is staying on after 16 minutes and no door handle, window, sunroof, or remote key buttons have been activated (or any of the signals listed in post #2 above)?

Battery is a couple month old, plus i took it to autozone when they have charged it fully and it showed 12.6 V.

Everything is closed but stays on. I had the orange light on since I bought my X in September but battery problem just occurred like a month ago.

So its not a battery nor FSU.

Plus, if you have a link on how to test fuses, please help!

I have an update!

So I have pulled all of the fuses responsible for computer, radio, telephone, cd changer(which i don't have).... And battery is still alive after over 30 hours!

At least I know the general area where the drain is happening!
I have placed all of the fuses back besides the Telephone one(Fuse 74),
so I am suspecting bluetooth or the emergency assistance console(might be it bc I remember water dripping out of the plastic grille near those buttons).

In addition I have read about faulty TCU, which is kind of responsible for those functions.

Let's see if it stops draining the battery with phone off.

Final Update!

I found a problem - it was TCU unit.
So I just went ahead and removed telephone fuse.
No Bluetooth - no battery drain!

Wondering if the recall for TCU is still active.

Bagamolov did you have a phone installed in your car using bluetooth? i got a drain issue too and fuse 74 is installed but i dont see how this controls anything and if it does what does it control? I am gonna pull it.....and see
