      Battery drain problem

      I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas. I have a 2 amp draw that I cannot find a reason for. Yes, I said 2 amps. My car is a '67 Camaro with an LS1 motor, American Autowire harness. optima yellow top in the trunk. I'm finishing up the wiring now, but the battery will drain overnight if I leave it connected. Engine bay is essentially complete, the engine runs, (runs pretty well!!) I have resolved most of the circuits and have any potential shorts eliminated. I have tested with the amp meter with a friend watching the meter as I pull the fuses, no change. Disconnected the alternator, no change. All I have left is to examine the connections at the starter.

      This is driving me crazy....... I have checked/disconnected the power to the relays for the fans, for the headlights. Disconnected power to the ignition switch.

      Could a problem with the PCM cause some type of circuit to remain powered and draw current? PCM seens OK because the engine starts/runs/idles, etc. Hooked up to a scanner it does not throw any codes.



      Any help would be MUCH appreciated.
