Re: battery losing charge when off

I found what was killing my battery in the Claret and I can't believe it took so long to find, almost a year.
It was the trunk light.
Sunday night I folded the seat down to put a pair of skis in the trunk. I got in and started the car, put it in reverse and lo and behold when I looked behind me to back up I saw that the trunk light was still on. The bulb had some how lasted a year and the heat had melted the bulb cover to the point that it crumbled when I touched it. For now I disconnected the wiring connector until it warms up enough to check what the problem is.

Many months ago I solved the problem in the Ebony by replacing the seat belt module.
