Abs module
#13
I don't know if it should or not but I can't understand why it would need any while the vehicle is sitting with the key off. That's why I'd like to hear if other vehicles experience it too.

What is the level of current that you measured for the ABS with the ignition off?
MDZ320: the common fix is to take the ABS module out, remove the cover and resolder about everything. If you are not comfortable taking the ABS apart, I offer to do it for you, you just have to pay for shipping both ways. I think it will fit into a small USPS Priority box...although I have not tried it.
Later,

If changing the DC ma scale does not move the needle, then either the meter is incorrectly connected or the meter is broken.
The meter needs to be connected between the battery neg terminal and the neg battery cable. Connect the red lead to the neg battery cable, black lead to the neg battery terminal. (Neg battery cable is off of the battery.)
Have meter on 250 scale. If needle tries to go to less than zero, reverse the red and black leads.
Once meter is indicating a current, find the scale that goes from 0 to 250 for DC ma. Read that number, if less than 50, switch to the 50 ma scale to get a more accurate reading.

It looks like the meter I was using was not working correctly and it made a small drain look like a yyuuuuugge one. I bought a new Fluke VOM and the draw from the ABS module is so small that it barely reads it.
