  2. WITHOUT THE MEASUREMENT OF HOW MUCH THE DRAIN IS WE
    CANNOT HELP YOU, GO BACK TO YOUR AUTO ELECTRICIAN AND
    ASK. A GOOD BATTERY CAN SUPPORT A COUPLE HUNDRED mA
    DRAIN WITHOUT DYING IN 12 HOURS, IF YOURS CAN'T THEN REPLACE
    YOUR BATTERY


    And quit shouting you effing idiot..

    How about the most simple answer? pull the IOD fuse when the car is
    going to sit for more than 12 hours.

    pull the fuse no drain! thank me later! :)

    Hi...

    Almost half an amp sounds like a real good number for a light
    bulb...

    Might be a worthwhile (and free) step to double check - go out after
    dark and check that none are stuck on... under hood light, glove box
    light, trunk light, etc...

    Just thinking out loud...

  6. Insert a DVM configured as an ammeter in place of the fuse to the
    memory IOD and tell us if the 400ma draw is coming from that circuit.

    My guess is the memory IOD is drawing a more reasonable 20ma and
    the big drain is elsewhere. I think your auto electriacan screwed you over.
    If he was at all a professional he would have followed the IOD circuit back
    and tested at the iod itself to make sure it wasn't a chafed wire going to
    the iod and not the iod itself, or a drain elsewhere.
