omodos is on a distinguished road
instrument cluster is using 0.02amps sleeping

Hello everyone, well been trying to track down if my start problems were battery related bad battery or battery drain or both, seems battery is fine but tested the amp draw before X5 slept and whilst going to sleep...

I locked the doors and waited to see drain on multiemeter before & whilst sleeping:



*locked car to sleep mode amps draw levels*



Locked car -0.79 amps for the first 1-2minutes

0.38 amps for the next 15mins (again jumped rapidly to below 0.07)
0.07 amps whilst in sleep mode


Started removing fuses,in the front got to fuse 43(instrument cluster) removing this I got a drop from 0.07amps to 0.05 in sleep mode…I then put fuse back in so sleep mode drain hit 0.07 again.


Checked rear and fuse 83a power socket rear luggage compartment did the same the drain dropped from 0.07amps to 0.05 amps....


So i left this fuse out as dont use the socket at the rear.....and am left with a 0.05amps (50ma) draw whilst X5 sleeps...is this too high? and also if you see the *locked car to sleep mode amps draw levels* steps is the current drain too high in these steps?


And the instrument cluster on my car looks fine so not sure how it is draining 0.02amps asleep?
