UPDATE:
Well, that was short lived. After replacing the alternator, regulator and installing a new AGM battery, I thought the car was fixed. But after sitting for a little more than a week waiting for a new turbo cartridge to arrive and get installed, the battery was COMPLETELY DEAD! And I don't mean just "mostly dead" (guess the reference), I mean so dead that charging it over night only brought it up to six volts. Totally ruined battery. On top of that, with another battery installed, it is only charging (or should I say not charging) at 12.3v. My guess is that either the BCM is bad, or the alternator is bad again. I will be "coding out" (deleting/removing) both the Tele Aid and alarm system with my STAR SDS computer. I believe either one or both of these systems could be responsible for the parasitic draw. The Tele Aid system is obsolete, and the alarm is useless anymore (ignored by most people). I am hoping one or both turns out to be the cause of the draw, so I can have some closure. Stay tuned.......
