2004 LeSabre Limited with OnStar active.
What is the normal battery drain (parasitic load) on amps (or milliamps) when the the car is just sitting and turned off? The load would include the clock, OnStar, remote door lock system and so on. I know it does varies a bit over time when OnStar is handshaking. Am looking for an average number and a range Hi/Low if anyone has one.

Without On Star about 25-40 milliamps seems about normal.
