- 2015 Mazda CX-5 AWD
Last winter my '15 CX-5 needed a boost 6 times in a month. I took it to Mazda where they gave me a variety of reasons my battery was draining, saying I didn't start it often enough, 3rd party starter, etc. In the end they tested the battery as I had suspected and it wouldn't take a charge. They replaced it.
1 year later (now) and during this week of -30C's I needed a boost a few times. Figuring it was the battery, I bought my own. Within 19 hours the voltage dropped significantly. Using my multi-meter I found I had a 0.75A draw when the vehicle was off. Pulling fuses, I got that down to 0.30A so far. the AT fuse was pulling 0.3A and the ABS/DSC beside it was pulling 0.15A.
Dealer isn't open until Tuesday. Anything I can do? I'm also out of warranty now so I'm pissed about that.
