Zulu, thanks for the help so far. So, I did some diagnostics on the car. I hooked up a multimeter and measured the amperage draw. Here is what I found:

As it sits, the car will sit around 600mA for around 20 minutes, then fall down to around 120-130mA (sleep mode). The shift light stays on. I started pulling fuses one by one. I pulled all the 5-30 amp fuses (glove box and rear) and only noticed up to a 20mA drop. When I pulled fuse 61 (the Main Fan), there was a 100mA drop.

Any ideas on what this represents? What is the main fan vs. Aux fan? I thought there was only 1 electric fan (the aux one) and the other was mechanical on the engine shaft. Could this be related to the FSR. By the way, the FSR was disconnected the entire time.

Any help is appreciated. I hope to be narrowing the problem down. I will let you know tomorrow if the shift light is off when the car sleeps and the main fax fuse is out. It is getting late!

Scott
