Battery Always Dead Issue

[N7turbo]

Fords were known for that.

Remember the Ford Explorers that would keep power to the one of the steering column stalks (I think it was the lights but I am unsure) which caused them to heat up, melt, and catch fire while you were away? That's how they became known as the Ford Exploder.

Buy one of those wall-outlet-powered battery tenders for now and keep it hooked up while you figure out what's causing the draw.

These are really helpful if you park your car outside/freezing starts. Esp. if your battery is old.

Certain countries are different, but in my US 2023 MY:
I have observed and through forums:

Turns off with ignition:
In front of shifter 12v, front armrest usb's.

Always on:
front armrest 12v, rear armrest usb's, hatch 12v.

I wouldn't leave anything plugged in to the "always on" outlets of this car.
