Larry, Very sorry, my test was a bad test. I didn't take into account that the fuse is on the wrong side of the switches for those circuits, so you basically acted as the switch and energized those circuits so they turned on whatever was on that circuit.
So we are back to pulling each fuse, and measuring the current draw across the fuse terminals. ------------- Max Charleston SC On Sat, Jul 21, 2018 at 5:55 PM, Larry Turner via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Hi Max, After re-reading your post I'm wondering if I am doing something > wrong.
