Here is my setup, I disconnected the 3 cables down the right hand side of the power distribution box one at a time: View post on imgur.com
I've heard that the alternator diode can cause these issues quite often with these cars, how would I test that? |
How are you measuring current with the leads hooked up to the mA plugs on your multimeter? You should be using the 10A plug and COM. Now I'm not even sure I believe the 2.5A draw you measured, based on you photo it might be a miss-measure.
