[QUOTE="WildJay90, post: 429490, member: 19550"] The battery is new and I believe it is miliamps (new to using a mutlimeter). I included a photograph of the test. I completed a process of elimination by pulling fuses and harnesses, including the clock, and nothing changed the power draw until unplugging the two wire on the alternator. Unsure if this matters, but the draw only occurrs when the alternator is grounded, which I believe is needed to complete the circuit anyways. It is a chassis ground and I also added a ground wire when installing the new alternator. [ATTACH=full]117517[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
