It's the 3.0 and in a weird change of events it seems to have at least temporarily fixed itself. Maybe that's why I didn't find an amp draw the other day.

Right, so how do I test without waking it up? Isn't part of the test to check the draw in sleep mode? Or are you just watching the shifter for sleep mode off/on and then after that testing each fuse?

How do you test for sleep mode without waking the car up? So if it goes to sleep, and I open the door or trunk, does it "wake up"?

I think I'm going to buy a new handle and do the fix before I install it. This way I can take my time and do it on my workbench without any sort of time constraint.
