    Just thought I'd share an experience in our shop. We've had a 92 5th
    Avenue that has been running the battery down with a .5 amp draw &
    we've had trouble finding the source. Pulled the #12 fuse & the draw
    drops to .03 amps. It runs the courtesy lights & among other things,
    the Body Control Module. All we did was unplug the 2 connectors to the
    Module & the draw again dropped to .03. Thought we had a bad BCM that
    needed replaced. Just to verify, I plugged the BCM back in, & low &
    behold, .03 amperage drop. Evidently unplugging it reset it somehow &
    now the problem's fixed (for now). I'll update if the problem comes
    back.
