Have made no progress trying to find the parasitic drain. I look at the interior fuse box and the fuses and diagram don't match up at all. How the hell do you read this?

 

Really?

I looked at the only the far right column, and the fuses are dead on....and clearly you don't have heated seats, so don't let that confuse you.

Eat a snicker's bar and try again.

 

Someone has been in there before you. If I were you, I would put the fuses in the way they are shown in the cover. Right now, you wires are not protected correctly.

However, this has nothing to do with causing your parasitic drain issue.

 

 

its pretty obvious

you have 3 columns in the fuse box

in the diagram they specify each column with battery, accessory, or ignition power; then the amp rating of the fuse; and then the circuit description.

Just a quick look shows quite a few fuses that are the wrong size. I would replace them so the box matches the diagram first.

 

Ok but in the diagram there's 15 spaces in the first column. The box has 12. What's the deal?

 

Don't get hung up on stuff that doesn't matter. Look at the fuses, look at the diagram. Rinse. Repeat.

Diagram shows the first three as 10, 15, 7.5. Your fuses show 10, 15, 10 which means somebody at sometime blew the 7.5 fuse and replaced it with a 10.

Then there is no fuse according to the diagram. You don't have a fuse there, so all is good.

Keep going down the list in the same fashion.

 

Once you remove a battery cable and then connect you ammeter in between the battery and the cable, observe the current draw (amperage). then start pulling fuses one by one and watch what that does to the reading on the ammeter.

Your concern about what fuse does what DOES NOT MATTER at this point in time. When you finally find a fuse that makes the ammeter reading drop, then it matters. Find the fuse fuse first and we will help you from there.

 

The gray port beside the fuse box there what's that for

 

that would happen to be the consult port. I have never used mine but iirc it has almost the same as OBD.

 

Are you asking because you own a 1995 Maxima.
The OBD2 port is on the passenger side.
