[QUOTE="Gummiente, post: 224426, member: 6743"] Update to the updated update: Yep, the power seats were definitely the culprit. Everything was fine until yesterday when I installed a wireless backup cam, the kind where the monitor plugs into the cigarette lighter. It worked great, so I unplugged the monitor when I was finished and put the bty charger on because I'd had the doors open and the ignition on for an hour. But the bty charger kept kicking out and flashing the red LED warning light. Did a current leak test and it was dropping .5A to ground. Jeezus wept. Then I remembered that a cigarette lighter fault is a common electrical issue, so I pulled its 20A fuse and the current draw dropped to .07A and everything is fine once again. [/QUOTE]
