Go to start engine and battery is dead again.
Time to figure out this problem. Hook up ammeter between car and battery and it shows 270mA of draw with ignition off. Try unplugging a few things but no change. Consult with Spencer and find out 60mA is normal with an ECM and Autostart module, he suggests feeling relays after cars been off a while to see if any are warm. Sure enough, one relay I installed is warm.
This relay is energised by the ACC circuit and allows operation of the dome lamp from the headlight switch. (I've killed batteries in the past forgetting to to turn off) Pulled the relay and test light shows ACC power at the coil terminal. Cycled the ignition switch and power is not on the terminal. At this point I realize the ignition switch is out of adjustment and was probably the reason the new one wasn't making connection to the S terminal at the opposite end of it's travel. I never did actually check the new switch (duh) so I stuck the ohmeter on it and it tests fine.
Re-installed the new ign switch, adjusted it on the column to the other end and car's standby draw is down to 80mA and starter engages.
I have a couple other modules that draw ~20mA so gonna put a battery tender on the car somewhere and plug it in when not driving.
Sacrificed another cheap wrench to help setting the roller rocker lock nuts.
The battle continues....
