2005 mustang GT battery drain
I have a 2015 mustang GT. My battery keeps dying. I tested for parasitic drain. I am now trying to find where the drain is coming from. I checked the fuses in the engine compartment. However I cannot find the fuses inside the car.
Does anyone know if there are fuses inside the car
Thanks

the fuse panel is on the passenger side at the bottom of the door:
2015+ has MUCH more electronics than previous years
keeping you doors locke seems to be what drains everyone battery...
the alarm KILLS the battery FAST
Electronic Stability Control also seem to be a battery drainer
Alarm-draining was common with the 2005~2014s too
seems to be worse with the new models even more

the CD players are known to drain the battery,
because they keep trying to load CDs
i pulled my radio/cd player fuse
I know what your problem is with your 2005 battery drain. I had an 06 and the guy I bought it from told me he had to jump it every time he drove it (he rarely drove it)......anyways...I bought the car and did some research and learned that if you leave a CD in the slot or have the radio turned on when you turn off the ignition, it will drain your battery.
Once I learned that, I was sure to not do either of those two things.
Just two days ago I bought an 06 GT Vert with 17K miles on it, original owner. He told me he has had to put three batteries in the car. Same issue, I am 99.9% sure of it.

The factory radio is long gone. It was replaced by a prior owner and wasn't working when I bought the car. I replaced the non working radio. Do you think I would have the same problem with an aftermarket radio?
Thanks for the info.

also, check the alarm system for battery drain
