Can any one tell me what the parasitic drain normally is. I have checked the drain on my car and it is 0.15 amps.
It starts at 0.45amps then the interior light relay trips out and it is 0.27amps and then after about 10 mins it drops to 0.15 amps.
It is the same locked or unlocked.

Thanks for your help, it was the radio. Self inflicted I am afraid. I changed it in March when I did a dash refurb and wired it up the same as the old Kenwood radio that was fitted from new.
I will now have to find a live feed for the switch supply that is ignition switched, before I was switching it on and off on the on/off button and it worked the same way the Kenwood one did with 2 permanent live feeds. The drain is now 0.03 amps. So that is an improvement.
