Electrical issues causing battery drainage

Alinho · 11-10-2020, 04:30 AM

Hello guys,

I am having a problem with my G05 2019. Last night I went to the car and all of the sudden it wasn't starting, so I checked the battery and it was dead.
Although it happened to me 4 months ago and the dealership replaced the battery. So I think i am having an Electrical issues causing battery drainage.

If anyone can help so i can confront the dealership to fix it probably not just replace the battery again.

Thanks

Any aftermarket auxiliaries attached? Dashcam or radar detector, for example?

Do you have something plugged into the OBD-II port?

Maybe it is that. BMW specifically says that port is only for diagnostics. From what I hear, but have not looked for, is a way to code power to that port off when the car is off. Otherwise, it's always powered (I think?!).
