Default How to check fuses with rear door open?

Hi,

I'm trying to check the X308 for a parasitic draw - the battery draining over about three days - the draw is about 0.5amps.

I've checked all the fuse boxes apart from the ones under the rear seats:
The problem is that when I open the rear door, the ampage goes through the roof because the jag notices that the door is open!

Does anyone know how to trick the jag into thinking the door is actually closed?

I'm beginning to think that I'll need to remove the door card and disconnect something in there.

Would appreciate it if anyone knows the proper procedure!

Chris

Simply lock the door. Use a screw driver to strike the catch and done.
