Dan,
I noticed the same omissions in Bentley - it's as though some of these things don't really exist.

I'm thinking the frunk light switch is connected to the alarm system to allow it to detect the lid being open, so when that circuit is closed, a 50 mA drain occurs which seems high to me for a system like that, but I only barely have a clue about these things. If there was a short somewhere in this circuit I'd expect a lot more current draw.

Though this posting: electrical problems - new battery drains overnight
had me thinking that <100 mA draw was OK (which means my 90 mA draw passes the test) the rest of the internet says I should be below 50 mA. Since my power windows are powered all the time, and since they apparently should not be, I'm going to follow that trail of clues. I'll probably follow your recommendation on yanking that module/relay.

My car's wiring seems to be in good shape, and only slightly molested by previous owners, but you never know when some wrench "solves" a problem with a jumper wire here or there.

Thanks,
GK
