C5 Auto Seat Replacement
Hi all,
I recently replaced the automatic seats in my car with fixed seats. I just left the plugs open, but covered with electrical tape under the new seats. So far, things seem to be fine, but a friend was telling me there may be parasitic drain and that I may need to add and mount the old auto control module somewhere under the seat? This is a 97 and it doesn't have telescoping column or anything, just auto seats.
Thanks!

the drain is from the security system. keep the car on a tender if you will park it for more than 2-3 weeks. I loose approx ~25percent of my charge in 2 weeks. Might not be as bad in the summer months seeing how I just did this test over the last couple of weeks.
