Parasitic Draw

Hey there, I thought I would share my prior experience with a parasitic draw on my lancer in hopes that if the same situation happens to anyone else it will save them a bunch of time and money. I was dealing with the draw for about a good 2 years, it never really fully killed my battery as I would be driving it every day. The few times I didn't and my car would sit for less than 24 hours the battery would be completely dead. It was clear there was obviously something wrong. After weeks of trying to find the possible problem, running parasitic draw tests, unplugging every fuse to hopefully find a drop in the draw I came up with nothing. $450 later it turned out to be the bluetooth module that was short-circuited and was continuing to demand power when the car was shut off, which I should've known something was up with it because my hands-free system was no longer working.
