It may only take 10 seconds, and yes, 680 mA is significant, but I'd hate to spend a bunch of time chasing a 680 mA draw that goes away after the battery saver relay times out and all modules are in standby mode. There are a lot of opportunities for electronics to change in the 6 years between your Windstar and the poster's 2004 Taurus. I had monitored the current draw in my 1998 Taurus SHO using a DC current probe and the draw changes after several minutes as all the modules go to "sleep." I understand you like to disagree, but what does it hurt to put the current meter on the car, then go in and eat dinner, to make sure that the current draw being measured is the current draw loading the system overnight?
