6 amps lost on SV6

[Tumeke08]

My car has a new battery in it, however after 4 days it's flat, by removing the engine and main f/l solve the battery from going flat but that's only a short term fix. What could be causing the 6 amps to be draining causing me to have this problem

where'd you get 6 amps from? thats a lot. id expect it to take less than 4 days with 6 amps constant draw

when did it start going flat? try and work out what has been done/happened to the car when it started. is the glovebox shut properly? is the interior light staying on?

an easy way to diagnose the drain:

Open the bonnet and open fuse box. Remove and reinsert fuses 1 by one. If something is eating power, it will make an electrical "click" noise as you reinsert the fuse. Identify what circuit the fuse is for and go from there. Also same can be done for fuse panel inside the car under passenger front footwell.
