I own a 2002 Camry. There is a peristolic draw on the battery when the car is turned off. The dealer can't figure out where the draw is coming from. two toyota engineers are shaking their heads. The amperage draw is 6 amps or better. It is intermittant. Its not the following: the seat controls, multifunction relasy switich, or alternator.. Anyone have any ideas. They pulled all the fuses when the amp draw was registering-no luck in locating the draw.:disappoin

That's a good one. Did the engineers pull the fusable links? Without a schematic I can't be certain about much but, there should be two or three near the battery. It will at least give you which main circuit is the bad guy. From the hip - starter.

If it is just one component that is pulling the current, i.e. Radio, Door Lock, Window Motor, or Rear Defroster; if its pulling 6 amps when its not supposed to, chances are it won't function properly when you turn it on. I would test every electrical component in the cabin; wipers, washer sprayers, windows, locks, lights, rear defroster, radio/tape/cd-player, courtesy lights, cig-lighter/acc. port, etc. And see if anything doesn't work right. It's at least worth a try if all else fails.
