OK... my 91 has had a drain issue since PO had it. Cut out electronic brake controller and goofy fog lights, no other hacked wiring found.
3G alt upgrade done by me, disconnected for now. Hood and dome lights are removed.
Plugged a meter inline and I had 1.7 amp draw. The barometric pressure sensor accounted for 700 mA, and the last 1A is being drawn through the black/red(orange?) wire on the fender solenoid. I disconnected everything I could find downstream and I still have a 1A loss. That includes the engine connector, which cuts the glow plug controller and engine sensors out. I traced it through the fusible links, and it splits to 2x black/orange and 1x yellow. I found some detailed '89 diagrams, but the wires coming off the fender solenoid were different.
Yanked all fuses, unplugged 3 boxes under dash, pulled TECA relay... no change.
What obvious thing am I missing?
