Did you end up finding the parasitic draw? I'm at the same level as you when it comes to using my meter and diagnosing my parasitic draw. (Thanks to Jon and others here, they've given me homework to bone up on). My draw with doors closed, everything off was 32.77mA. That's just a tad above...

Thanks! I was just looking thru my search results.

Surf n Turf (now Turf n Surf, under new management). Will be back for 2025. We met the organizer last year on the Dunes. He mentioned, their putting the band back together... Now that Pismo has opened up more camping areas, it supports starting Turf n Surf for 2025. Look for posts from SETHZILLA...

Was your wiper motor functioning before rebuilding it? Mine have stopped working and I'm wondering if rebuilding the motor is something that an average joe like me can attempt successfully or if I'm better off trying to find one from a parted out LC? I'd have loved to have known about the Surf...

I just bought a set of the PIAA Horns and thought it was plug n play, but it apparently isn't. I've got a '95 LC - what is this amazon socket thingys you speak of? I like thingys that make life easier! Thanks! EDIT - I just saw your answer above...Double thanks!!

Yeah for sure. But for now, it's baby steps for me.

This is a great starting point. Thanks - So cool that Toyota has publications on how to use the DMM among other things!

Man...I bow down to guys like @Malleus and @jonheld! So I'm a novice mechanic at best (I can do oil changes with the best of 'em and replace serviceable parts with some instructions...) but when it comes to electrical, esp in a car, I'm pretty lost...but not a dunce. I'd like to learn how to...

Hi Joe - Those clips look great, as good as any I've seen. I have some other questions about it. I'll DM you.

Thanks so much - I just looked at some of your youtube vids and the forward and rear cam recordings look great in daylight. Do you have any videos showing the camera recordings at night? Especially the back camera...that's where I've seen some very grainy video quality in other brands. I'm...

I just bought these same horns. Looking at mine, it looks like I was only using 1 of the 2 wimpy horns (not sure when the wire was cut to the 2nd horn). Do you have a part reference from Amazon for the horn adapter socket thingys? Thanks!

Bought a 24F Interstate from Costco today. Asked about the warranty and it's 3 year pro rated. The guy said you lose 3% of the value every month! But it was only $134 plus tax and $15 core charge, which you get back if you bring your old one in.

I'm in search of a LC specialist in the greater Los Angeles area as well. Who do you use/trust now? Thanks!

What antenna did you put in? Does it get AM reception well? I still listen to sports on the radio and AM is easier than trying to find it streaming somewhere on my phone.

Checked that - it def turns off after I exit the car. It I did read in another thread that there could be another short somewhere in there. I’m going to pull fuses and see if that helps.
