Remember now guys, I was measuring the current drain while the Courtesy Lamp fuse was pulled.
That (at least according to my wiring diagram) shuts down the interior lights, the trunk, glove box, and underhood lights. That way I was able to work with the door open (how else ya gonna pull the fuses) and the hood up (to read the drain at the battery).
Now maybe the fact that the door was open, (even though the fuse was pulled), that may have told the CTM that the lights should be turned on, so the CTM pulled the Courtesy Lamp Relay in.
So tomorrow, with the Courtesy Lamp fuse pulled and the CL relay installed, I'll measure the current drain with the door opened, and with the door closed. (And for good measure, I do it with the trunk light installed, and with it disconnected.) Thanks for the ideas. . . . .
So my questions still are:
Does the Courtesy Lamp Relay appear to be good? Should the relay get warm just holding the coil in, even though it's not providing any current for the Courtesy Lamps? (Don't wanna change parts if nothing is wrong with 'em.)
Is there a way to determine if the CTM is functioning properly? (Maybe the CTM is toast and is holding the relay in all the time.)
