hey lads.
my dad recently bought a 2013 Punto 1.3 Multijet.
the odometer is blinking and there is severe battery drain even on a new battery.
the car runs fine, but leaving it off for a day or two will cause the battery to drain completely, needing a jump start.
i measured and there is a .4A drain on the battery with nothing turned on. removing the F01 maxi fuse in the engine compartment eliminates any drainage.
F01 apparently is "dashboard power, standard functions", which is not very helpful to pinpoint the problem.
this is as far as i got. no idea where to go now to get more specific into the problem/solution.
I know the blue&me module is faulty and needs a reset/reprogram, but could that be the problem? i.e. a software issue as opposed to a hardware one, causing the battery drain? if so, how am i going to update the module if the website is offline forever, apparently?
anyone able to offer some assistance? i wanted to troubleshoot it at home as much as possible, without sending to the shop.
