I'm also confused by the 8 volt drain. I think you should start looking at the individual circuits in order of their probability of causing a problem. For example, courtesy lights, my understanding is that the door switches can fail over time. So maybe start with them.
Try pulling out the courtesy bulbs, then measure again. Look for places in those circuits where the wiring harness has connectors, so you can easily unplug and isolate. bs bs Sent from my iPad On Mar 28, 2013, at 7:32 AM, [email protected] wrote: > RE: Daily driver parked for a week while company was in town, and the > battery completely drained. > > Thanks again to all of the suggestions.
