I have a 2012 Infiniti FX35. Had a dead battery recently which I replaced and it continued to die. I knew something had to be draining the battery. One day I noticed (by luck) that the dash lights weren’t turning off when the car was off and locked. Another sign was when I unlocked the car (while it had juice) my radar detector would start beeping without the car being on.
Long story short, after a week at the shop, they narrowed it down to Fusable Link E, fuse #6 - which controls the little clock feature, not the dash lights. They checked for a cross circuit and found nothing. They put the car back together without the fuse and it doesn’t have a draw anymore. The dash lights are turning off now too.
So it’s not “fixed” but they believe it may be due to a water leak around the A-Pillar that’s causing moisture in a fuse box located inside on the driver side.I’m supposed to take it to a body shop to repair the leak before the shop will replace the fuse. I’m sure more issues will arise soon if I don’t fix this asap. Especially because of how much rain we are getting in California right now.
Before I spend anymore money, I’d really like to know if anyone out there has suggestions, experiences, or any input at all. Or, even if it sounds like the shop could be on the right track?
