Car drain spec, what does Ford say?

2000 V6 base model.

Does anybody know what the specified maximum battery drain is?

I mean, when the car is at rest, not running, no lights, etcetera.

thanks

If its a battery drain it could be your radio if you installed an after market one. Could also be the PCM it says online.

Most likely drain would be the radio amp. Will kill a battery in less than 2 days.

Or an alarm system that is wired incorrectly or a stero amplifier that has it's power inlets incorrectly wires where you plug the antenna wire into an always hot source instead of an acc controlled power source.
