basically i noticed earlier that the odeometer part is lit all the time. is that right? i would have thought that it would all turn off when locked etc??
Most new fords have a power hold relay, focus, mondeo etc which stays live for around 20mins, its a nightmare when you are checking for a drain as you have to wait 20 to 30 min before it powers down

yeh totally correct.the car goes into a kind of sleep mode and all ecus still have power going to them incase you may want to jump in and start it up again,saves them all powering up again.after the 20-30 min period if nothing has happened then the car will completely shut down,unless there is a fault with the stereo in which case will keep the car alive as such until battery goes flat lol
