A new DME is here. An E46 post sent me to
https://racehuggins.com/pinkiesout/
An EWS delete DME is ready for install. Before I replace the OEM one, I want to learn from it. I'll test each EWS wire before and after sleep command. I want to know which wire has an amp draw. Knowing and learning is something I can pass on. Costs was minimal too. I'll install a hidden switch to disable cranking when I want it to disable it. The new DME delete should take care of F11 500 mA draw. F60 has three switches labeled as pressed by Fowell when they are not. Two will be unplugged and replaced if necessary. If the "pressed" scan is cleared to "not pressed". Two errors are fixed. The rear license plate light/latch combo assembly will be unplugged. If it also clears "not pressed" a replacement will be ordered. After all that, F60 should be fixed. Then sleep mode should be 11 mA!! Or at least 18 mA to spec.
The camera is active key on. It has a capacitor/battery for active shock monitoring when key is off. A 32 GB card records in 3 min loop mode. No sound is recorded for max file storage. A rear camera can be connected. I'll install a seperate one back there. The rear camera will get power from an unused rear relay port.
