Finally got my car back on the road, only to find out that I had an electrical draw big enough to kill the battery. Searching led me to how to track it down, but I'm at a loss.
With everything connected, I've got a 211mA draw on the battery. Narrowing it down to 4 fuses, all of which are in the engine compartment.
Engine Compartment Fuse Box
Horn 15A
Headlamp 40A
Ignition 30A
Fusible Link 60A
With all four of those fuses disconnected, battery draw drops down to 27mA, which I've read is normal for the ECU/Radio, etc. If any one of these 4 are plugged back in, it's back up to 210-211mA draw.
I've tried tracing back wires from these four fuses, but have come up empty on anything causing the drain. None of the fuses in the driver side kick panel change the draw.
Anyone have any suggestions on where to go from here?
