Re: Dead battery

I finally had a chance to look at the car again. It looks like the problem with the power locks (that I mentioned in my first message) is also causing the battery to go dead. When I do the check with the meter set on 10 amps, it pretty much maxes out the meter. When I pull the #4 fuse in the box under the hood, it stops the current. Just to confirm it, I have had the fuse pulled for a few days, and the battery is still good. Also, when I put the fuse back in, I can hear a noise in the doors that sounds like it's coming from the locks. It's like putting power back on the circuit causes the motors to "jump" or something, but the locks don't move. Any suggestions for how to track it down from here? I'm ready to take the panel off the door if that's what it takes.
