Hi all! Hope I am posting in the right place. We just bought this 2012 Fusion SEL used with 150k for our 16 year old. Get it home, next day, dead battery. Jump it off, drive around, park it next day, dead. Charge it up, battery has 13v do parasitic draw testing. Have .48amp draw. Fuse 5 on the interior seems to be the culprit, also the fuse for the instrument cluster battery powered is drawing some. Any ideas? I took the center cup holder portion out and disconnected all the visible wiring harnesses in there, no change. Not sure what else is on that circuit that I can check? Also it seems the exterior keypad does not light up which is also on fuse 5, I believe.
