[QUOTE="ttocs, post: 1462224, member: 11896"] Just for shits and giggles go into the drivers side console. Pull the carpet down below the plastic right next to the gas peddle and peek in and see if you see a silver box with a bunch of holes in it and two harnesses. We are asking about the mach system because the amps have been a known current drain for some time. There is actually a version between the mach/standard that still has the small amp/cross over up front and it it is still plugged in then disconnect it. Are you sure there is no alarm in it or you just were never told? Its not uncommon for dealerships to just not give the remote to the system rather than pull the entire thing so it will not be their problem later. While you have your head by the gas pedal look up into the dash and see if you see any extra wiring. Now if all of these come up empty the next step is to get out your amp/multimeter. Disconnect the battery(either side) and then connect your amp meter in between the disconnected battery. Now look at the reading of how many amps are being pulled, and then start pulling one fuse at a time from the fuse box. At some point you will see the current drop sharply with one fuse and from there we can narrow down what might be in that circuit. [/QUOTE]
