Battery drain E60 530d
I have had a lot of problems with my car and this next one is the battery draining overnight, I changed the alternator and the ibs module but it still continues also most of the times I get an error code 4661 supply voltage, here in my region we don't have many professionals and they can't solve it. Please help me!

I have checked almost everything and I wanted to know if the glow control unit can cause this battery discharge because some time ago I had a loss of coolant and the tube that had the problem was exactly above the glow control unit and a large amount of coolant fell on it

Any module can produce a drain. You need to perform a parasitic drain test to isolate what is draining the battery if there is indeed a drain.

That would do it. Now you need to find the leak and plug it and get a new module then program and code it.

I understand, I think the water got in through the door rubbers, they close properly and smoothly, but when I moved them by hand, they didn't have adhesive, maybe the water got in from there
