[s-cars] Current draw/dead battery

[Theodore Chen]

i had this problem, too, and it was the window/sunroof relay.  it's double-wide and has 329 marked on it.  there's a yellow wire from the central locking unit to this relay.  the central locking unit apparently begins to malfunction and through this yellow wire, rapidly trigger the 329 relay, killing it and draining the battery.  if this is the problem, and you just replace the relay, you'll kill it quickly.  i cut the yellow wire, which meant i no longer had the window/sunroof close using the key.

Update for the current draw. At 2140 hrs, the draw was up toggling
 between
34/35mA so it is still increasing. A few have e-mailed me and I checked
 the
trunk light. There is no bulb in the trunk light so that could not
 possibly
be the problem. I did unplug the power lock module/vacuum pump and did
 not
get any change in draw. The rad fan relay and the double relay in the
 kick
panel came up a few times from a few different people, so I will focus
 on
those as well.
