Finally Solved Electrical Problem
After a couple weeks of troubleshooting my electrical system from the battery, to the altenator, to the chassis grounds, to finally the problem, a continuous draw on the battery from the RH headlight lamp motor relay? Has anyone else encountered this before? It is a black box about 4" x 6" with two plug in connectors. One connection has 5 prongs labeled A, B, C, D, E and the other connector has 4 prongs lableled A, B, C, and D. Also has the work GUIDE stamped on top. Anybody know how much this part is from GM and how difficult it is to obtain? I don't see any part #'s on it? It is not the headlight motor itself.

I believe so. I remember reading here that someone almost had a fire start because the relay was stuck on and was burning the wires. The owner saw smoke and everything... kinda scarey!!
If theres no part # i would just take it down there and see if they can match it up!!
