Current Leak in 1993 Corrado

#11

Had that same problem on a '91 Passat.
Then the other seat belt system went bad soon after = same problem.

With the security system disconnected it is 0.25 Amp.

250mA is a significant draw, and could indeed be expected to render an
average battery flat in several days. If as I understand this is a new
problem and nothing has been worked on or changed recently my pick would
be
glove box light, boot light or some other low illumination bulb not
switching off. another possibility is an audio power amp remaining
powered
because of sticking contacts in an ignition switch / relay.....

Good luck, VERY frustrating.

Found the source of the problem: a current leak through one of the
automatic seatbelt circuits.

Thanks for all of your help.
