You can save time without using multimeter. Touch the terminal to the battery. If you see a blue spark you have a draw. The dome light and stereo are very common draws. Looking carefully for anything staying on instead of pulling fuses will save time and effort.
I have a 09 Murano and it’s been sitting for some months now. Since a year or two I started experiencing the car going in limp mode. The first time I experienced it was in a traffic light and couldn’t move the car, not responding to the gas pedal and moving extremely slow and then suddenly kicked into normal mode… happened to me 2 or 3 time a year and once left me out of town and couldn’t start it back. Acts weird, for sure it’s something to do with the electrical/electronics. Apparently, many had a similar issue but not one has a real fix. Some suggested the Alternator but it has to be an OEM as many after markets seems not to hold for long. I tried so many other things as well, air intake boot replacement, throttle, battery, pedal sensors ..etc… I tried to troubleshoot it but not obvious. It’ really a pain these electronic and electrical system. As I said, I’m not the only one who experienced that. If I had a garage, I would work on it but now it’s parked outside and cold. I’m in Calgary and this weekend it’s going down to -35 : ). Replacing the alternator is a bit costly too but there is no guarantee, and really don’t want to end up stuck limping in the middle or nowhere or in the middle of everything. Any ideas? Have seen or heard or such limp mode or any fixes?
@@shaneperche-fixed-it I were able to isolate the drain in a positive wire that feeds the BCM module, I programmed a new BCM but the problem remain the same...
The room lamp draw was from the door being open. Audio is from memory on stereo. What is the draw once you put the fuses back in without the iPod Jack?
The ipod unit was the cause of my parasitic draw and it was almost completely disappeared when the fuse was replaced. I'm no longer using that device. I still have an acceptable draw for the clock and memory of course.
@@authenticationstation2041 That's better but still seems a bit high. My 09 Murano is now sitting at 0.03 Amps or 30 mA. Ideally you want to get it below 50 mA to avoid dead batteries when not in use for a few days. I think you might have mentioned this but did you cover the sensor on the door to simulate that the door is closed?
In my case, I had installed it myself when I bought the car and placed it behind the stereo accessing it by removing the carpet on the passenger side. If you didn't install one, you likely won't have the exact same issue but you can use this technique to identify which circuit is causing your draw. Once you identify the circuit with the draw you can focus your attention and inspect the components on that circuit to fix the issue.
Great video! My 08 Murano has a power draw issue and I'm planning to troubleshoot the same way.

I HAVE EVERYTHING STOCK AND IM STILL GETTING DRAIN ! THE DAMN DVD PLAYER STAYS ON WHEN THE CAR IS OFF
What is a room lamp on in the interior!!!
The room lamp fuse controls the interior dome lights, map lights, and the lights that turn on when you open the doors.
fighting the same devil here! Mine is a 2004 Murano SL, what year is yours?
My Murano is a 2009. Were you able to isolate which circuit the parasitic draw is on?

Mine is a 05. I have a 0.13 draw

@@shaneperche-fixed-it what was the draw on the car when you finished. I think I had a bad stereo wiring from the previous owner.
@@shaneperche-fixed-it after I pulled the stereo it’s .10

@@shaneperche-music yes. Doors were disabled.
where is the neo sound unit located?
