Hi, so i currently have a 2018 SEAT Ateca with a parasitic battery draw of around 3 amps which is very high. I have connected up a meter in series and disconnected all fuses one by one however the 3 amp draw still stays. I have read that a reasonably common fault can be with the alternator diode shorting to ground causing a large draw. I was looking to see if anyone has dealt with this issue before and if there is anyway to confirm this without getting the car on lifts and disconnecting the alternator all together. Cheers 👍
