Battery would go dead after 2 days without car being used. Subaru dealer repeatedly found nothing wrong, suggesting an operator error, intermittent flaw, or 'try using a trickle charger'. My multimeter indicated a 0.2 volt loss across the battery terminals per day initially. After removing fuse 9 the voltage loss dropped to approximately 0.02 volts per day. This modification has apparently removed power to 2 speakers and ,as I understand, maybe power to my blue tooth too. I am considering connecting fuse 9 to fuse 19 per the 'justagaragehack' video.
