[DML] Minor electrical problem revised...

["Adam Price" <acprice1@xxxx>]

Thanks to all who helped me so far. I have performed some more tests. I also 
straightened up the wires and mounts for the door switches to be safe.

I measured the current through the Courtesies circuit with the right door 
open, it gives 1.35A. The left door alone gives 1.20A. Both doors open 
simultasneously gives 2.55A. With both doors closed it reads 0.00A!!!! So 
the doors arent the problem.

The engine compartment light does not come on. The bulb doesnt look burnt 
out. The switch one the other hand was falling out the bottom of its little 
switch housing. So to be sure I completely removed the switch. Current still 
zero. Then i used an extra fuse to hook the two wire connectors that go to 
the switch together. Current is still zero even with the engine compartment 
light shorted. So my engine compartment light has its own open problem 
somewhere else, but at least it isnt shorted.

The switch to the front luggage compartemnt works fine turning the light on 
and off as normal. The fuse I first thought (and is labeled) for the 
radio/clock/cigar lighter, actually is my windows fuse. So my windows 
circuit is the one pulling the 13.3mA. Does this mean my solenoids are going 
bad?

But I did find something important.
