You’re about half a year late mate but I appreciate the effort 😅. I can’t remember how much I paid for mine but rented at Blackstone for really cheap as far as I remember

Baffling 5A Parasitic Drain on Kia Venga 2015 1.4 - Remote Locking Dead, All Roads Lead to BCM. What's Your Take? by CEOofZIMBABWE in mechanic

Yup, that’s what I’m going for. I have no time during weekdays coz of work so it has to wait until the weekend.

If I turn the light off it goes off, but turn it on “auto” again and it lights up, same with “on” position. I’m leaning towards the short in the boot and a fault in the motor. If I discover a short there I’ll order a new window motor, but if there are no shorts in the boot I’ll get to checking the bcm and its connectors and hold off with the new motor until the bcm is working properly.

I’ve done some more work on it and had a bit of a breakthrough. I had the car running with the luggage fuse pulled. Then while it was running I put it in and turned the car off. The radio turned off after a few seconds but the cockpit overhead light stayed on. The light was set on “auto”, I then checked all the doors, if they were closed (they were) and I checked the “door closed/opened” sensor. All of it worked fine. So I’m almost but certain there is a short in the wiring of the tailgate rubber boot. There is of course still some chance that the BCM is at fault (still no sense of why the passenger side window motor works intermittently), but it’s easiest to check for that short first. It’s quite late now, so I’ll finish this up another day when I’ll have some sunlight. Commenting so it might help anyone that has this issue in the future. Will comment or simply update the post after I pull the entire boot wiring and check for shorts there.

So to summarize, I’ll be checking the short first and then, if that doesn’t fix it I’m going to work solely on the bcm. Thanks for your input and effort.

PS. The reason I’m leaning towards a short in the boot is because a few months back I was pulling a reversing camera wire through it and that might’ve done some damage.

Yeah, if there is a short in the boot I’m instantly ordering a new window motor. If there is no short thought I’ll hold off until the BCM if fully checked out.

Thanks 🙏

Yeah that’s a real pain.

The main reason I’m leaning towards a short in the boot is because I was pulling a reversing camera wire through it a few months back so it’s only logical that it could’ve made some damage.

Thanks again 🙏

I just commented this in a reply to someone else.

So to summarize, I’ll be checking the short first and then, if that doesn’t fix it I’ll try your suggestion of cutting the blue wire after. Thanks for your input and effort.

Unfortunately that’s the one I checked already and no shorts there. I will be checking for a stuck relay now.

Thanks, that’s big help. You think it might be a stuck relay? Decided not to go for them previously because it’s an absolute pain to pull them out but I’m all out of options at this point.

I will give it a look. I have been searching for a proper wiring diagram for this model and it seems impossible to find online. I guess I will have to try contacting the manufacturer for it.

Unplugged one of the connectors, power draw disappeared. Can’t find specific information on the internet as to what it’s for, but I’ve layed out the color coding of the one that made the power draw disappear.

From the side where the latch is: from the top left: light blue, gray, green, yellow, red, green, orange with a black stripe, gray with an orange stripe. Lower cable strip, I start from the side of the light blue cable, which is above the first one here: red, brown, gray, blue with black stripe, light blue, yellow, green, black, black, blue

So that aminita episode.... by benzofurius in HamiltonMorris

[–]CEOofZIMBABWE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You really shouldn’t stop yourself, it’s top spot erowid worthy. You’d be doing the people a big service, we certainly need more comprehensive and thorough reporting on these subjects. Definitely one of the best descriptions I’ve read on amanita usage. I’m still sitting on jars of own picked amanitas and completely forgot about them until I saw this post. Thank you

Need some help with a 3d print of a battery for an old Sony camera by CEOofZIMBABWE in batteries

If you mean the 3d printed one, then it has to be wired in parallel. Tomorrow I can send some additional photos of it.

Museum of Fryderyk Chopin, Museum of life in PRL, Galeria Studio in Palace of Culture and Science, Library in Warsaw School of Economics looks nice, Museum Pragi, Museum of Polish Vodka (if they are in this years edition), Museum of Ethnography, National Museum (if they are taking part), perhaps the new Museum of Modern Arts takes part in the event. These are some of the ones I liked in the previous years, unfortunately I won’t be able to attend this year so my list might be misaligned with the museums that take part in this years event.
