Reported cause · Original poster
The problem is solved, it was the ignition switch :-).
Leading evidence: 'ignition switch :-)' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'ignition switch :-)' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace whole lock or just the ignition switch' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Do I have to change the whole lock or just the ignition switch that is marked with the purple arrow?

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi
I have some battery drain problem.
When I remove the fuse from C7, the current drops from 0.38A to 0.01A. Relay Term XE connected to that fuse is hot all the time plus another relay Actuation Heater that appears to have a connection to it.
Lamp cluster light switch is always on and I tried to remove the contact and it drops a little bit.
When I remove the 2 relay mentioned above, the current also drops to almost 0.02A
Has anyone here in the group had the same problem before?
You just need to keep following the loads that are connected to that relay and figure out what you can do to de-energize them or remove them from the circuit and you'll find the culprit. You are just about there.
Iirr c7 goes to the ignition switch first position wires
Unplug your ign switch, if no difference then unplug the light switch, and see if the amp load goes away/down. Might have a partially shorted/faulty ign switch or light switch.

Thank u 🙏
I removed the plug marked with red arrow in the picture and the current went down to almost 0 A. What's wrong then? Do I have to change the whole lock or just the ignition switch that is marked with the purple arrow?
Well, now that you're isolating the battery drain to something being fed off the ign switch, we now know its not the light switch (a usual source for these type problems). So maybe remove 1 pin at a time from the ign switch load wires to isolate the circuit thats draining your battery. Don't mistake the switches line in power wires for a load wire.
