I went out to do a few odds and ends on my build last night and found the battery to be dead again (3.3 volts, YIKES). I thought I had a bad unit (maybe I did) but I definitely don't have two. I did the troubleshooting and found that my problem was coming from the ignition circuit. When I test I have oscillating current from 48 to 72 milliamps. This is way to high. I connected my Digital Guard Dawg to the ignition wires on the RF harness with a high current weather pack so that made isolating it a lot easier. Sure enough when I disconnect it my draw drops to 9 milliamps. 8 of these are my parking brake.

So what to do. I have to live with it for now because I have to drive this thing to my pre scheduled appointments and I really need to drive it before the weather turns so I can shake it down. After I get it registered next week I think I am going to pull it and temporarily re install the key switch. The easiest thing to do will be to pre wire the switch to another weather pack and just plug it in for an easy conversion. I called DGD and they said I should never see more than 12 milliamps. They said to send it in and they will look at it. I have the key to push button and just to make sure the unit wasn't more "awake" because of the key, I moved both of them into the house. Still acts the same.

I did a search but only found one thread where anyone had this problem and it was never updated. Question, has anyone else seen this and has anyone just for fun measured their draw to see what is normal?
