Hello, here it is....Very strange. I have a trunk mounted battery and master disconnect switch. With the switch off, I read 1.5 volts at starter relay. Apparently a drain! When the hatchback is open and the switch is off, there is 0.0 volts at the relay (no drain), when I close it the drain comes back! The dome light isn't even on. I pulled the dome light fuse and the drain did not go away (1.5 volts constent). Here is the really wierd part. When I turn the master battery switch off, then turn on the right map light next to the main dome light the voltage reads 0.0 at the relay. So to sum it up. I have the battery off and 0.0 volts (no drain) up front with the doors and hatch closed and the right map light on (no light on though because battery is off). When I turn the map light switch off, I read .5 volts drain at relay, with hatch open I read 1.5 volt drain (all without the lights on because the battery is off!) What the heck is going on here?? Thanks...Jason

note: 1992 5.0 hatchback
