Unable to find a mechanic that is familiar with a Parasitic draw that over 5 days with car setting is drawing down the battery to a no start condition. Does anyone else have this problem and if so how did you get a fix. Have been on UTube and tried to discover falt circuit luck using their suggestions but no luck. Any suggestions.

Why not take it to the car dealership for testing or diagnostic? Or is it one of those Chinese vehicles? Trying each fuse individually on a daily basis at the end of the test the battery will be dead.
Finding out Parasatic draw is a concept not understood here. Went to the dealer and two other mechancis and all had issues understanding the problem. HOWEVER, tired isoluating circuit one by one and found it on the fourth attempt. Dome lights. Pulled the dome lite fuse and the battery immediately settled down. Thanks for all the tips.
Glad I could be of help. Perhaps theres a late life carreer reboot available in Panama when I get back there!!!
Not if you put in on a battery charger in between tests.
Tried everything else. That will take over a month but good idea.
It will only take over a month if you pick wrong. You might pull the right fuse on your first try. Begin with pulling fuses on the higher amp circuits, and work your way down.
Have you tried disconnecting each circuit one at a time and let sit overnight to find the offending circuit?
