Battery drain on 2014 Mazda 3

Hey Scotty, got a new battery for my Mazda 3 2014 and after a couple days of sitting it went completely dead, not even dash light will come on. I recharged it a couple times and it kept doing it, I did a load test on it, and then again a couple days later the battery alone, and the battery is perfect, I then did a charge test to see if the alternator wasn't charging, But it was. I then watched your video on checking for drains, used my multimeter, checked everysingle fuse not a single change, the multimeter doesn't go past 200ma and it said error so I assumed it was above 200ma drain, but I thought also maybe the meter was bad, so I Jimmy rigged a small bulb so some probes and it light up way brighter then it should, so obviously too much power. Did the same thing, checked every fuse, no difference whatsoever. I do have a aftermarket remote start, was put in by the first owner, I'm the second. also has no codes or anything either. It's become really irritating and any advice would be much appreciated.


Also it's got 190000 kms with the 6 speed auto

Get yourself a good multimeter and test again. It is likely that the aftermarket remote starter is the issue.
