Battery draw testing
Still chasing down electrical gremlins. My question is: would it have an affect on mA draw and voltage battery draw if the sun visors are unplugged? I am getting a fluctuation in battery voltage and hear the relays from the footwell board clicking on and off producing a battery voltage fluctuation that does not stop. Is the BCM looking for the HomeLink or the vanity mirrors? The fluctuation is from 7 amps to 44 mA and 12.74 to 12.51 on voltage. Just trying to rule things out. Thanks

Good idea, I will unplug the alternator and see what we get then. On a side note, threads like this are a great research tool for those who may have similar issues in the future. I will post up when we have the issue resolved the details on what the problem was.

Good Luck, hope you can find the cause.
