Okay...They found a 150 milli-amp draw on the battery. They traced it to a wiring harness under the dash that was aftermarket and tied into the ignition. I told them the only things aftermarket that it could be are the kill switch, remote starter, radar system, or left over from the cell-phone hookup which I removed from the car when I got it. When they called me they had already put in 2.5 hours. They said when they unplugged the inline fuse from the harness the draw dropped down to 25 milli-amp. They said to find where the wiring went they would have to start taking apart the dash and trace more wires. The total for what they found was already at $250.00, and who knows how many more hours they would need to do more. So I told them if they pull the fuse and the car still starts with the kill switch (I don't really care about the remote start, I never use it), and everything is working the way it should, then to just leave the fuse out. They did and called me back and said the car started up fine and it didn't effect the kill switch or the remote start. I drove home and everything was working the way it did before. So the result is they were able to remove a 125 milli-amp draw off my car, yet I still can't say for sure what the culprit is (although I think it may be from the cell-phone thing). Whatever it is, it ain't getting power now. They said it's now drawing at a normal rate, so I'm going to monitor it some more and hopefully it won't die anymore.
