As you mention 0.5A draw I assume you have a multimeter. So connect the mutimeter on current and put it in series with the negative terminal so it shows the 0.5A draw. Then remove the fuses in both fuse boxes one at a time until you discover which one disconnects the current. Then you know which circuit to investigate. Good luck :)

0.5 amp drain with the car shut down is about 10 to 20 times what I would think is normal. Have you got a dash cam or other accessory plugged in ?

Then I'd leave that fuse out and keep going through the rest, 0.26A is still too high. You may find a second fuse which provides a separate supply to the head unit. :)

Does the car have an alarm ? If the back up battery in the siren has failed that might be a cause of the main battery to go flat.

Thats way too high, should be more like 0.05a

Is there any non original electrical accessories fitted to the van?
