[AJD] darn electrical systems

[Bruce Mahr]

Nick: By using an ammeter to determine the amount of drain, and pulling 
fuses/and or connectors one at a time, you can isolate it to the culprit 
circuit, which would still need further investigation as to whether it is a 
component drain, or a wiring short.
