I'd expect that the 99 mA max is when the "alarm" lamp flashes on the dash. The 26mA is when it's not flashing. On my fluke meter when set to sensitive it'll actually show the 99 when it flashes. 99mA isn't going to drain a battery though. Glad to hear that the battery was the cause. Makes buying one of the otc battery testers a good investment as it seems we all chase a ton of unnecessary "potential" causes when it's something simple.
One time I had what I thought was a bad bearing in the drivers front wheel. I chased that problem for about 2 weeks. Only made a noise on a left turn. About 5 days after giving up I found one of my son's glass marbles underneath the driver's seat that was rolling and hitting the metal supports.
How much would Ford have charged me to diagnose that???
