I've been having battery drain problems with my newly acquired '06 9-5.
I don't think it's ignition switch, since it pops up flush (I sprayed contact cleaner in it anyway)
If I remove the key and leave it UNlocked, the alarm LED stays on - the pattern is 2 flashes pause, 2 flashes pause... on and on
It'll keep flashing until the battery goes flat.
I've been playing with fuses and found that removing #9 kills the LED and seems to stop the drain - but I lose the radio.
I've ordered a multitester with ammeter function (mine can't handle anything but milliamps) so I can do more tests
Any ideas, based on my symptoms?
