For the last year the battery in my 2020 fusion keeps dying, if I let it sit for more than 24hrs. The dealership says I have to drive it for atleast 30mins everyday, or it will die. I told him that's rediculous. So I'm suppose to waste gas just to keep the battery from dying. He said the battery tests fine after they let it charge overnight. I said, "well no s**t!" He said Ford won't cover a new battery if they can't find a problem. Now I know some older fusions had a software issue. But has anyone else with a 2020 had a problem with their battery dying?
My older fluke automotive meter has a max/min feature where it will measure voltages (or whatever) for a long period of time, keeping track of
the max/min/average over however long you leave it. My mom's 09 grand Marq had an issue with light control module being "woken up" by something
connected to it. Car draws maybe 45 ma when module is off, but 280 ma when module is on. She is in 80's and car sits for long periods of time,
so that module coming on over and over, killed battery in about a week.
I would ask Ford if they tested amp draw, and what it is when car "goes to sleep". Typically, you get a bigger ma draw after shutting off car,
as some things like interior/exterior lights, or other things are on for X amount of time. But once all that ends (IE, car goes "to sleep"),
you should be in the 75ma (less really) range.
Ask then to measure amp draw overnight, after car goes to sleep, to see if it is drawing too much. If they won't do it, find a shop that will.
Or buy a meter that has that feature and do it yourself. You just take off pos battery terminal and put meter between battery terminal and pos
battery cable.
