What Accessories

[thx10]

Is this a normal accessory usage? All I had on was the radio (Alexa Amazon Music)

I have noticed this over the last few days that accessory usage just seems high. No rain wipers or anything that I have turned on

“Accessories” covers just about anything 12v in the car.

Thanks. My search didn’t go that far back.

I'll stop being paranoid thinking there is a parasitic drain from something the dealer installed option that I didn’t know about. Glad I can take off my tinfoil hat.

Maybe put on your tinfoil glasses for a second, though, and do a visual inspection of your OBDII port. There have been a number of threads about people discovering tracking devices attached to their cars, either put on by the dealer or previous owner... (Often times discovered by receiving an "Electrical System Drain" message...)

I did do that. Didn’t see anything under or behind that looked suspicious. But I’ll look again
