Headlight control module?
I have had a hard time keeping the battery charged in my c4 lately. When I hooked up the battery charger last time the headlight control module made kind of buzzing sound. I am wondering if it is bad.
I am also wondering what the connector pin-outs are.
I will have the alternator checked when I can.
The battery is about 1 month old.

Probably the headlight motors, they run when the battery is connected. Firebird, late Fieros use the same module. If you think that's the problem, just disconnect the module. Its probably not the drain.

I tried to use a module form a 95 firebird and nothing happened (other then the headlights turn on and off). so that module could be bad or its wired different.
Any suggestions on how to find the battery drain?
Maybe I should check to see if I wired that heated o2 correctly...Not that.
I might have found it...I feel stupid if I did find it. Right now it looks like the AMP that was installed sometime....I don't listen to the radio anyway. Call me crazy, but I like the sound of the engine more then the radio.

I checked the draw with the extremely complicated spark test 
, with the 50A AMP fuse in there was a good spark hooking up the battery cable. With the fuse removed no spark that I could see.
Any ideas on how to fund out how many amps@12v a amp might need?
I am thing of taking the amp/sub out of the car adding a pair of door speakers. then hooking them up to a spare PSU to make me a "new" set of computer speakers.
The sub from the car works better with the computer then it did in the car...
