Default Huge drain of the battery from the fuse 1 of the RCM

Hi !

I have a huge drain issue with my crossfire 05. The battery is dead if I don't use it for about 1-2 days.

Therefore I used a mutlimeter to look at the drain and I removed all the fuses (from the Engine Compartment, the Relay Control Module and the Interior box). I appears that the fuse #1 from the Relay Control Module is draining 500 mA (see pictures below). I have seen that a ~35 mA drain is normal, so only with this fuse my battery is discharging !

I don't know if it has a link but I have an issue with my cruse control which is not working. I have been to a dealer to make a diagnostic and they told me that my front left speed sensor is not working. I then changed this sensor by myself but the cruse control is still not working. As apparently this fuse #1 is for the traction system, can the issue with the cruse control be linked to my crazy drain ?

Thanks in advance for your help !

Don't hesitate if you need more information =)
