Have you unplugged the parrot kit and observed the current?

Also, things like parrot kit may have standby timers etc to save you from being cut off when keys pulled - check the settings!! Also check the permenent and ignition lives are the correct way round

Leaving car to rest for a few minutes is very important, pulling the fuse for any accessory delay relay will do nothing for things like interior movement sensors for the alarm etc, they all need to find their own levels, and this takes a few minutes also.

I reckon there's another problem as well, because the 380 that leaves is still high.
Seconded.
Although I am not familiar with the Omega electrics, 380mA is way outside what I would expect to find on any vehicle where quiescent current is concerned.


@ the OP,

If you fancy a 50 odd mile slap to North Hants, I'll quite happily find the problem device for you.

Ok guys, I'll have another go and leave all the doors shut for a while and let everything settle down.
