Back-Up Current

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Mazda 626. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Verify that the ignition switch is at LOCK position and that the ignition key has been removed.
  2. CAUTION: Operating electrical loads while measuring the back-up current can damage the circuit tester.
  3. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  4. Measure the back-up current between the negative battery terminal and the negative battery cable.
    • If the current exceeds 20 mA, remove the fuse in the main fuse block and the fuse block one by one while measuring the back-up current.
    • Inspect and repair harnesses and connectors of the fuse at which the current reduces.
