Power Lock Problem
I have a 1993 coupe and if I leave the power lock fuss #42 in it will drain my battery down. Do anyone have a idea what could be the problem. The power lock works when the fuss in in. I don't have a FOB for the PKE.

Fuse #42 supplies 12 volts to 3 places.
1) Both Door lock switches.
2) PKE module for (Battery Motor Load) no description
on what that is.
3) PKE light bulb in the Driver Info. Center.
Most likely the PKE module is causing the problem.
Only way to verify is to use a meter and measure
the battery current draw with the PKE module in place
and disconnected.
With all the interior lights and under hood lamps off,
the current draw should be some where around 35 milliamps.
If the current draw is a lot higher than 35 milliamps, pull
fuse 42 and remeasure to verify you're working on the
correct circuit.
If you're not the original owner of the vehicle there is also
the possibility someone has wired into that fuse to power
something else.
The PKE module is located on top of the right hand side of the cluster.
The dash pad needs to be removed to get to it. Item 3 in this picture.
