Car won't start after 3 days of sitting.
This is a repeat occurrence by this point. I'm posting just out of curiosity. If my car sits without starting, the battery will be dead. Out of all the cars I've had, this is odd.
So, is there a way to trace what is draining my battery? Is this a common issue?
Input is appreciated.

Car want start
Its most likely your HFL (hands free link) it drains your battery slowly so if you let it sit for 2-3days your battery will get drained. its an known issue just unplug your hfl which is located behind your dome light where you open and close your sunroof, or you can replace the part which is $700+. I left mines unplugged better then paying to replace it.
I actually replaced the handsfree link and the battery still drains after sitting 3 o more days. Any other suggestions?

Manimal, how did you figure out it was your radio?
I already removed the radio in my 2007 TL Type S, and then tested the drain, and it was 1.2 amps. Then I disconnected the HFL, and the drain is now 0.55 amps, which still seems high.
Maybe I should remove the NAV and test again.
And then reinstall the radio, and test again.
What should the drain actually be?

P.S. Looks like Turbonut got the drawn down to 14-16 mA after pulling the #7 fuse: https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-p...solved-973316/.
So. I pulled my fuse, and then my meter showed 0.08 amps = 80 mA, which is much better than 550 mA, but not as good as 16 mA.
