Struggling with an IOD fuse draw. Connect amp meter and it's drawing 0.8 amps. Disconnect the bluetooth module and it goes down to 0.6.

Still too high. I noticed once while testing it suddenly dropped to under 0.1 amps. Turned key on and off and back to 0.7 and it's still like it 2 hours later caining the battery.

What controls the IOD circuit and where do I go from here? Pulling all fuses doesn't seem to make any difference.

Cheers guys!

 

wait a while.
Either the .1 was an anomaly or thats how much it draws at rest. The .7 will be the 'inrush' current, while the circuit warms up.

Consider that you probably have a 300amp hour battery, you would have to leave the car for over a week before it was flat. Which sounds about right for vehicle with lots electrics.

 

Hi, have 09 outlander 2.4L with the same problem. IOD fuse draw. I dont have the bluetooth module. and under the dash in the fuse box fuse number 8 it draw to. In the manual it's says control unit relay for the fuse 8... anyone knows whats control unit relay and where is it ?

 

Yeah, this is an old thread, but. . . wot th' heck.
"IOD" is Ignition Off Draw. That is, the normal draw when the ignition is off.
And it takes a half-hour after turning off the vehicle for all of the timers, etc, to be actually turned off.
My 2007 Outlander 3.0 XLS has an IOD of 19.8 mA. That's 0.0198 amps. . . allegedly OK. . . normal.
Any IOD of more than 50 mA is too much.

I have the same vehicle and I've been struggling with the same issue. Did you manage to find a fix?
