2019 Subaru Outback - ELECTRICAL SYSTEM and UNKNOWN OR OTHER Failure Complaint (#b0bbf4)

2019 Subaru Outback

  • Date of Incident: Mar-03, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Apr-11, 2024
  • Failed components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM and UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Having dead battery issues due to dcm drain when vehicle parked in garage. I replaced 2 batteries since november 2023 and last dead battery issue march 2024. Took it to dealer brilliance subaru and they said they found no problem. Went to another mechanic and they said draining 150 or more milliamps from dcm fuse #9 when they take out milliamps returned to normal draw i think 20 or less but then i lose front speakers and bluetooth or more stuff. So thats not the fix.
