    Parasitic drain in ABS/DSC circuit

    I've had a parasitic drain in my sons 2000 323 for some time now and I finally identified the ABS/DSC circuit as the culprit using a multimeter and pulling fuses.

    Anyone know where I should start in identifying which part in the circuit is causing the drain? Has anyone had a similar occurrence?

    Thanks,

    Chris

    The drain goes to 0.01 A when I pull all the abs/dsc circuit fuses.

    And I have already checked the ABS pump/control module, that's not it.

    Pull one of the respective fuses at a time. I will need to know by fuse # what gives you the desired amperage drop as the circuits vary.
