Normal current draw

I know this issue had been beat to death, but has anyone tested a normal current draw on a good car? I'm reading right at 190 - 200 mA. I thought I had a parasitic draw so I pulled every single fuse one at a time and the current draw did not change at all. Is this normal? Is there another fuse box i can check other than the one on the driverside kick panel?

that is a lot of power drain. did you test with the door shut and locked? car will have more power drain with door open and hood open etc. after door lock, you should let it sit for 15-30 mins so it goes to sleep mode. you should see less than 25 mA i think.

FYI, 50mA will drain your battery in 5 days.

996 also will disable the remote function after 10 or 14 days. This further lowers power use.

How the hec can you check the fuse with the door shut? Can you just fake it by activating the latch with a screw driver?

The normal draw on a TT is 40 to 60 ma.
