Exclamation 2006 Hyundai current draw on battery

Hello,

I have an 2006 Hyundai Tucson and disconnected the positive battery terminal and found it has a 180 milli amp current draw when the engine is off and no accessories are on. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Start pulling fuses until the draw drops. That will tell you on what circuit the problem is located and then you can go from there.

Did you ever find out what was causing your battery drain? My dad has the same problem with his. I am trying to help him find out what is causing his drain. if he does not start it everyday the battery is to low for it to start. Its a 2006 Tucson 4X4

How long does the car sit between starts? It's normal for the battery to drain if the car sits for long periods of time without running so the alternater charges the battery.
