Re: Door lock module contributing to battery drain



Dave Swingle pointed me to a great resource that includes the door lock
module wiring diagram (see
http://www.dmcnews.com/Techsection/doorlocks.htm). From this diagram it
appears that the leakage current I'm getting from my door lock modules is a
result of a leaky capacitor. I'm not sure if this is a leakage current
peculiar to a couple failed modules I just happen to have or if this leakage
through the caps is a common occurrence. If you have a mysterious current
drain of some 11mA that you cann't account for, you might disconnect your
door lock module to see if this is the culprit.
