> As I noted in an earlier post, there are only a few circuits which may be 
> enabled when the car is shut down.  In Audi wiring diagram speak, this is 
> primarily the "30" current track.  Removing fuses (and relays in come cases) 
> removes loads from the electrical system, and if you are monitoring the current 
> drawn from the battery while removing loads you can isolate what load is 
> discharging the battery over time as the car sits.  Here's a list of what I found:
> 
> Fuses:
> S2 - Emergency flasher circuit
> S3 - Brake light/horn
> S4 - Most accessories (like radio, make sure you have code!)
> S19 - Central locking/door lock heaters
> S20 - Seat heaters
> S21 - Windows/sunroof
> S25/S44 - Power seats
> S51 - Cell phone
> 
> Circuit breakers/Relays
> S43/S64 - relay locations 13 & 14 - circuit breakers
> J17 - relay location 10 - powers circuits other than fuel pump
> J59 - relay location 5 - load reduction relay (supplies "X" track)
> 
> Other notes:
> Ignition switch supplies current to "15" current track
> Headlight switch has circuits which are powered from 30 track
