I am driving the 04 XF without F9 that resulted in disabling the doom and trunk lights as well as the remote locking control. I am just locking it manually. I would appreciate any help.
I know that F9 also feeds the BCM ( Body Control Module ) which is why the remote locking won't work. I 'think' it supplies the voltage for the CAN bus communication to the LCM in the trunk. You could look it up in the schematics and cut the wire at the BCM for this and see if that is where the drain is.
( I assume you have removed the bulbs from the interior and cargo lights to determined that they are not the culprit )
If you determine the BCM is drawing the current, then you are on your own from there, as far as I know, no one has internal schematics of the BCM, ECM, or RCM.
I would think a healthy battery would scoff at a measly 40 ma drain anyway.
