Hi,
You're probably better off trying the C900 forum as opposed to this one...
But, just a little advice for you. Best way to find the source of the current drain is with a multimeter.
1. Set it to "current" setting to measure amperes of current.
2. Disconnect your battery positive lead (red).
3. Insert the current meter in series with the battery and see how much current draw you get. Should be pretty low, like a few milliamps.
4. If it draws more than that, you are confirming your problem.
5. Now go to your fuse panel and pull fuses one by one until the current drops to a normal level of a few milliamps.
6. Now you know which circuit is causing the drain and you can troubleshoot that one.
