[V8] electrical beeping/ glove box short

[Steve Kramer]

Jason, thanks for the tip.  Pretty cool.

At 5pm today I traced the buzzing that I thought was coming from the dash to
but was actually coming from the middle of the front passenger seat.  There
was a 1 second pulse on a 3 minute interval that made sort of a bzzzz sound
- dont know if it was the motor or something from the seat heater but I
think it must have something to do with the battery drain..  Had to remove
the fuse until I can get it looked at.

 Now got to call the AAA for a jump.

Anyone know or experience this before?
