Hey! My pathfinder's been killing batteries the past few months and I hooked up a multimeter to it and I'm getting around 0.50 amps. I tried pulling all of the fuses one at a time to see if it had any significant changes but the only ones that changed it was the B fuse which has the radio, cig lighter, and maybe something else but it only droped to 0.46 amps. I tried some of the relays as well in engine bay but still no luck. Has this happened to anyone else?

I've heard of alternator diodes failing and causing a draw that doesn't show up when you're pulling fuses from the box in the cab. I would try pulling the 120A fuse "A" in the "fuse and fusible link" box, which should be under the hood. If that doesn't drop the number on the meter, I would also pull fuse 65 (7.5A, same box) on the off chance.
