Re: Battery drain - blinking alarm LED and fuse #9 Posted by John Fitzgerald [Email] (#77) [Profile/Gallery] (more from John Fitzgerald) on Tue, 1 Mar 2016 19:45:05 In Reply to: Battery drain - blinking alarm LED and fuse #9, thatbobguy [Profile/Gallery] , Tue, 1 Mar 2016 17:39:50 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Well, I'm new to the 9-5 world, but on my '08 2.3t, the alarm led flashes whenever I shut off the engine, locked or not. It's blinking in the dark right now, outside the garage, unlocked, and it seems to be a normal default condition.
Doubt if an LED would be much drain at all.
Check amount of drain at the battery ... any pin switches 'sticky' at the doors? Trunk light staying on? Ignition switch popping out when turned all the way off?
A bunch of good troubleshooting ideas in the thread below signature block:
