Battery draining
 
I have a 2001 Boxster. Something appears to be draining the battery when it sits overnight. I live in a small remote town in Minnesota so I don't have any mechanics nearby that know much about Porsches. I took it to the local mechanic and he at least did manage to narrow it down to something related to fuse E6. When he removed that fuse, he was able to see that draw on the battery was greatly reduced.

Based on that clue, does anybody have any ideas of what might be causing the abnormal draw on the battery and what to do about it?

Just some quick thoughts. Console light switch working right or leaving light on??

Do you always lock your doors at night? I know of a few tiny lamps that can stay on if the doors are not locked.

What's protected by fuse 6?
