I am having a parasitic battery drain and wondered if anyone knew or had the correct milliamp ratings for each fuse while vehicle is off. I have only had the vehicle about a month and I have tested the mA and have gotten some ratings that fluctuate. I have a tool coming to test each individual fuses mA and was hoping to narrow it down. This might be good information for the FAQ. Thanks
 
Can't provide a detailed current draw matrix but I do know that current draw on the dome relay cct will fluctuate depending on time since the last door open/close cycle and look/unlock cycle. In some situations current draw won't drop to its absolute min for up to 30 minutes, and can vary from 150mA down to around 30mA. If you're not aware of this behavior it could waste your time chasing a problem that may not exist.

Thanks Paddo, I was getting 900 mA down to steady 500mA then 120mA, we were just pulling fuses looking for the meter to drop. I have a fuse plug in coming that will test the individual output of each fuse, there was an aftermarket remote starter that supposedly was disabled because it was causing door locks to act funny, my guess is they didn't disconnect it properly.
