I have one also. I think it was the #11 fuse in my case however.

If it is non fused then the starter or the alternator. Possibly ignition
switch.

[MBZ] 124 parasitic drain

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

The Larry 124 has a parasitic drain on the battery.  I unhooked the 
radio and antenna, no change.   I took out all the fuses, no change 
(radio and antenna still disconnected)   Then I unhooked the bungler 
alarm module under the floormat.  It still has a parasitic drain.   It 
is not terribly bad, as it can sit for a week or so and still have 
enought battery to start normally.


This one has me puzzled, as it is must something that draws right from a 
"30" circuit.  A trunk light or such should be running on a fused circuit.


Prior related problems (i've had) have mostly been solved by unplugging 
radio or antenna, and I had one bad trunk light switch.


Anyone have a bright idea?
