1999 Olds Aurora blows fuse for dash and Air

[ztheolds]

battery dead in morning. replaced battery. 174 ma draw, pull fuses will go down to 107ma. (remove 60amp fuse for bcm, 174ma draw goes down to 130ma draw) (voltage draw goes down to 10.4 from 12.4. when bcm fuse is puled) pull more fuses ma draw is now 107ma. 57000 miles basically garaged. thank you for any help. dave

Have you pulled all of the fuses while watching the meter? A 107 Ma draw is too much. Almost sounds like a bulb. Check the trunk bulb, glovebox, etc. The BCM and most other modules need to power down. This can take up to half an hour, depending on the module.

These can be hard to find because some modules go to sleep, then wake, then sleep, so setting the meter to the MIN/MAX record function is a real help.

I have seen Onstar modules do some strange things and draw the battery down.

i have a 1998 olds intrigue and my a/c will sometimes blow hot on the drivers side..(fiqures..) i'm wondering if it's the climate control module.. i have seen quite a few on ebay for sale so i'm wondering if its a common problem. my a/c is fully charged too

Probably not the control head causing your problem, but a bad temp door actuator. That is far more common than replacing the control head unit. The actuator motor is fairly cheap, and isn't too terrible of job to replace.

I replace the 10 amp fuse, sometimes blows instantly. Disconnect batttery, hook back up I everything works fine. Shut the passenger lost everything, went to put in new 10 amp fuse and sparks arked and blew. Now fuse will go in, doesn't blow it and I still don't have any gauges or Temp control system works. Tech worked on it, could not find anything wrong with grounds, fuse block or wires he could see. Talked about an extensive amount of different "modules" to try and replace. Any thoughts?

when a fuse blows it opens the circuit. Did your tech tell you if your fuse still had power and ground at the specific fuse holder? You may have had a short and burned a wire out. or it is possible that you may have had a bad cluster of hvac controller that was shorting out your fuse. you are going to have to check the power at the units that don't work. If all your power and grounds for the items that don't work are good use a scanner and see if there is communication between the modules. U-codes or body codes...
