200 tqa - current draw

[Samir Shah <gofast1@home.com>]

Well, figured out why the battery has been dying. When the car is locked
(only tested via drivers door), it creates a current draw - something is
not turning off or is being turned on. Pulling fuse 19 (door heater,
alarm, central locking) eliminates the draw. Reinsertion of the fuse
sometimes resets it. i.e. no draw upon reinsertion.

For the time being, I guess I'll just use the doors manually. Does
anyone have a cheat sheet for opening up the door panels? Which of the 3
systems usually has switch failure?

On BMWs, the door heater switch is the one that goes. However, it
usually creates a burning smell as the door heater stays on full time,
and the lock can get red hot and burn you (I had this happen on my 635). 
On my car, I'm guessing its the alarm in this case. I've never heard it
chirp when locking the door from the outside, but *once*, it chirped
when I locked the doors from the inside, suggesting parts of it are
still alive. 

Thanks in advance. Samir.
