Gilly, correct me if I'm wrong, but what I think you were saying is that you need to wait 1/2 hour with the battery connected to allow all systems to charge up their keep-alive memories and such. At that time, you need to test without interrupting power to said systems. Is that about right? If so, it's very much like we had to do at Cadillac back in the early 1990's. I've still got the multimeter test leads I jury-rigged that allow me to do that.
