I don't drive it much but noticed the battery runs down more than it should. When I charge the battery I notice my electronic charger would drop voltage for a second. Two days later after a full charge, the battery is down to 11.9V.
I heard a faint relay click that happens about every 30 sec, seems from inside the dash. Threw a clamp on meter on the positive lead, I notice there is an interval where it jumps to a 5Amp draw for like 5sec, then drops to about 25ma. This is in sync with the click.
There are lots of relays behind the dash (power saver, etc) but I'm wondering if anyone ever had this? I have to start pulling fuses. I don't see any lights go on, so it could potentially be any relay.
