Don't pull the dash!!!
Alex/Jim,
I gutted all of the electrical components on Fuse #2 and mean everything. Dash gauge assembly (a *****), radio (yes its aftermarket but I installed it and know my wiring is right), A/c control unit, all switches on the dash and counsel, front and rear light, and still nothing but the damn 4 amps. My wife wanted to go to the market, saw the car and couldn't believe her eyes..... Her car was like what you would find in a junkyard, every thing stripped out. I just laughed and told her I was about to take it to it final resting place....with a smile of course.
I spent two days on this and wife is happy to see her baby back together. But still need to find this problem, "I won't be BEAT".
I am leaning towards the alternator leaking diode. It is possible that diodes can fail and allow voltage to reverse. If so this could be the path to the fuse box. I am just grabbing at straws for now and will try to run a test and let you know what I found out.
