I Am Chasing a Ghost

[Mike Rapp]

I am chasing a ghost in a 1996 E320. The car has a 300ma draw. When I unplug power plug to passenger front seat module the draw is gone. When I unplug the 4 plugs in the back of the module (they go to the individual seat adjusters) the draw gets less with each 1 removed (until its gone). I replaced the module with a new 1 from Mercedes. And still have the problem. Also if I plug in the power plug with out turning anything on the draw is only 100ma. I had the same problem 2 months ago and the module fixed the problem for about 6 or 7 weeks. What in the seat could be causing a draw? If I unplug the connectors to the motors themselves it changes nothing. Also after I turn on the key or open the door (with the 100ma draw) I get my 300ma back. Has anyone seen anything like this before? Also I need to mention if the car sits for more than 3 days the battery goes dead. But I bet you new that.
Thanks, Mike
