Excellent test technique and results!
Attached is the Parasitic Draw Chart showing drain by device. 29 ma is a good reading. Battery should stay charged for weeks without being used if draw stays at this level.
Voltage readings look good too.
Seems like this is a separate issue than I thought it was when I started posting here: https://www.teambuick.com/forums/sho...329#post105329
And,
Even if the clock does pull 6ma normally, there's still something else drawing 23.
I did wait about 10 min before checking, after having hooked up the meter. Although I did open the door and set off that light. That draws much more but it goes out after a few seconds.
Is the next step to do the same with all the fuses and relays in the rest of the car? I see some on the right side and there's probably some under the hood. Thanks

Wow. Hmm. So I guess it just drains the battery fairly quickly just having it hooked up for a few hours while tinkering with the passkey reset procedures.
One set of instructions did say to hook up a charger while doing the procedure. I did, last time, and it still left it half drained. Maybe I just need a newer charger. Hmm. Well thanks again TODD. My hero.
