Hey- Hey What's that sound ?

I have been working on a battery drain problem. I notice a distinct snap/click coming from the Alarm module whenever I reattach ground cable of my battery. Sounds similar to a relay. Is this normal ? If not ????

Not normal. The relay is what is draining your battery. On my car I have a horn relay but no horns. My horn button was stuck on my steering wheel and tripping the relay, draining the battery. You could just try pulling that relay if you don't need it.

Being that you've been working on a battery drain issue: What mA's are you pulling on your "drain test"?

Best,

140mA with alarm powered. 40mA with alarm power or fuse removed.
