      This was actually a Toyota reman part. But who did Toyota farm the reman out to? No idea. Anyways I have to take it to my local dealer to get a warranty replacement. I am still not sure I understand all the physics of it. Basically it is...

      So it appears that is the alternator connection. And being that I just put in the new alternator, what are the chances the alternator charges my battery but then drains it when sitting?

      Ok so I figured out it pulls 550 milliamps key off. If I pull the Dome light fuse it drops to 450 milliamps. Nothing else affects it except this connection (see attached photo. Once I disconnect this wire it drops to zero. So next question what...

      So is 200u micro or milli amps? I read the 200u was microamps which I thought was super low. If it is milliamps then I can start pulling fuses. I am guessing the dome light or radio.

      So I have been having this battery drain which I originally thought was because of an old battery. After replacing that with a new one I realized I was only getting 13.3v at the battery when charging, so I replaced with a new Alternator. I now...
