That's what I thought I would do. On Friday, I will even put information here if it helped or didn't help.

I went there on Friday to check / replace the battery cable in the Campaign.
Everything was okay to hear.

We are still on the verge of the same problem, ie after standing for 4 hours, the power has disappeared from the car.

For testing, I disabled:
MPM Module (No effect)
Driver and co-driver bench modules (No effect)
Trailer Module (No effect)
Now I removed the Radio / Antenna module from under the Tailgate

- starter / charger taken out for test.
- Module used out under the trunk drawer.
- MPM used out
- trailer model taken off.

These have no effect

What voltage is the battery? What does the charge histogram show? Disconnecting the IBS isn't testing it. Focus on your own car and not your dad's please.

the battery voltage was 12.6V when you turned off the car.
Sleeping Voltage 12.4 and full time range from 12.5 to 12-3.
At the point where no other doors open then the Voltage is 4 - 5V.

Also, as a test, I have borrowed another E61 530D battery for a while and do the same with that battery that the power is lost.
But in the car where I borrowed the battery, it doesn't do that.

Now I’ve taken Start away, and the problem just keeps going.
MPM removed and problems persist.
The antenna module is removed and the problems continue.

Can the body module do?

Did you check for parasitic current draw yet? If the charging system and battery checks out good, then that would be the next step.

Just do a parasitic draw test and be done with it. You're going in circles. You know it's loosing power during sleep mode so do the draw test. It's the only way you're going to find your issue.

This question:
- Could the ECU or ECU cables do this?
- So the ecu didn't smell in any way returned or weird and everything was inside ok.
But 3-4 pin pin oxidized, the end of the wires was a bit oxidized.

Fault found, instrument panel ate currents overnight.
The instrument cluster also changed that maybe the power consumption problem solved.

But there will still be a k-can line of faults.

The error codes have been read and here are:
