I (think) have problems with parasitic drain.
Current on standby is around 110-90mA. When I pull Fuse 1 (60A Multifunction controll module) it drops to aroun 5-7mA. When i pull other fuses I dont see any change in A.

Is there anyone with 1.4 16V willing to help and check how much A does his Punto draw on standby?

Thank you
 
What is the current draw after about 30 minutes, if you’re testing this just after having turned the car off then it’s quite possible the ecu hasn’t gone to sleep, it does seem maybe a little high but with a normal battery it would still take nearly a month to kill the battery.
 
110-90mA is curent after everything goes to sleep, before sleep is 280mA. All ussual ( Radio, Parrot, interior lights...) suspects are unplugged.
If I remove F1 it drops to 5mA. If I insert F1 again it jumps to 110-90 or it stays at 5mA. 110-90mA is too much for such simple car.

100mA over 12V is 1,2watt, enough to keep the watchdog(s) awake ?
