Nope, not my car it's my sisters. Your "Question:" now has me concerned. I've never actually had the car when the battery was dead. Hmm... Anyway, the owner would try to start the vehicle in the morning with no success. He would then use a charged jumper pack to start the vehicle. The owner has since been removing fuse #19 after he has finished using the car for the day. In the mornings, he'll reinstall the fuse and start the vehicle without an issue. And again, 110 mA doesn't seem very high to me either. I thought rule of thumb was maybe no more than 40-50 mA. Perhaps I'm confusing this threshold for "no more than 40 mV" on volt drop test. Perhaps my "rule" is more appropriately applied to a '78 LeSabre, not an '06 of any species. I was also considering that maybe my meter is drawing some current to power some circuit(s) in the meter, albeit very little if any. Maybe not. Perhaps tomorrow, I'll have an opportunity to do some deeper probing. BTW, it should be noted that this vehicle has been broken into several times. Radio(s), stereo equipment stolen. Maybe I'm dealing with an antitheft-related issue? Also, would an issue in the SJB set the MIL?

I'd say that the longest I let the car sit was approximately 20 min with ammeter connected. I'll go for the full 40 minutes next time I look at the car. I did see one of the diagrams illustrating that the fuse #19 circuit led into the SJB and into a logic module, rectangle box that read "LOGIC". These are diagrams I'm pulling off Shopkey5. The initial concern was that after the car sat approx. 8 hours, the battery was dead. I performed several load tests on the battery, and checked charging system output. Didn't find an issue with start/charge. I'll do a volt drop test between batt. and alt., make sure that's good. I haven't checked everything you've mentioned but I will as soon as I get my hands on the car again. I appreciate your response and I'll post my next findings asap. Thanks for the help.

I have an 2006 Ford Fusion SE. The vehicle is experiencing a parasitic draw of about 110mA. I've found that the draw is coming from fuse 19 in the underhood fuse panel. This circuit is one of the "12V Always Hot" circuits that powers components controlled by the BCM, or as Ford calls it, the "Smart Junction Box". I have already determined that it is not the Smart Junction Box, as well as a few other components powered by that circuit. I've read on another post that it was a navigation system problem. The vehicle is not equipped with any such equipment. I've also verified that neither an underhood light nor the trunk light are staying on. There aren't any TSBs regarding such an issue. I've also checked 2005 & 2007 with no luck. Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, what advice might you have for me as a technician?
