I have some weird things going on. The seem connected to the fuses/electrical (yikes) system. If my car sits for more than 2 days it is dead. A jump and its fine real quick. Seems like a light or something is on somewhere. For the life of me I can't find it. I pulled fuse 15 because it seems like maybe a light in one of the doors. A while back the drivers side door started dinging and light on randomly. I would slam and slam the door finally gave up and removed the fuse. I really hate not being able to use the fob for locking and unlocking and also not having interior courtesy lights sucks even though I don't drive at night a bunch. The light in the dash, with the speedometer seems to work normally , if the #15 is in. But now its out and it worked this morning.

Is it a good idea to just replace all the fuses? I can't tell when one is burned out. They all look the same to me coming out of the package and pulling them from the fuse box.

I haven't put the fuse for the door chime back in for over a year.

Thanks for your advice.

Replacing good fuses will not help. You don't have a fuse issue. Fuses protect from high current draw (from a short circuit in most cases).

 

first thing to do is ready the sticky post "DIY Repairs" at the top of the 850 board where you will see a basic intro to battery drain problems. You need a Volt-Ohm Meter ("VOM") which can read current (we're talking milliamps here). Basically there's a normal battery drain level in these cars (some things like your clock and alarm system stay powered) so you can pull the fuses and measure how much current is being drawn with the engine off/key out. When you find the fuse that exceeds the norm, then you can research what's serviced by that circuit and go from there to the device.
