    ABS is drawing 410ma with the car off.

    So, to my surprise, my battery drain issue is NOT the stereo equipment, but rather something in the ABS system. If I have the module plugged in, the drain is 430ma, with it out, the drain is 20ma, which, for some strange reason, I find a lot more desirable.

    I've tried swapping modules, but that makes no difference at all. Any suggestions on whee I should go from here?

    For reference, I have one of the late '89 cars that got the relay free ABS system that is normally associated with the airbag cars.

    Apparently, writing that out and thinking about it answered the question. For the record, the issue was that I'm stupid and wired it into constant on power when I did the swap. For some strange reason, that matters.

    The car now draws 20ma with the ABS module wired into the main relay harness.
