I have recently traced what I think is probably causing my battery drain to fuse 56 in the boot of my touring which is one of the navigation fuses. I thought could just pull the fuse to stop the drain as I never use the sat nav anyway but its had some other consequences.
When I pull the fuse the instrument cluster doesn't show the blinking green lights when i use the indicators, or the blue light when I flash high beam. These lights are still working on the outside of the car, i've just got no indication that they're working from inside the car. Also my reversing lights do not work. These problems all go away once the fuse is plugged back in. I wouldn't have thought that fuse would affect the lights. Those systems are all on the I-bus but can't see how that shoud happen.
I thought I would check the fuse terminals and for fuse 56 I get 13V the live side and 0.5V on the other side. All the other fuses I tried have 13V and 0V. Could this 0.5V be the cause of all the problems and if so how do I go about resolving it.
Nothing related to any of this showing on fault codes.
Any advice much appreciated.
