Sounds EXPENSIVE!

I have to say, not many people actually spend their money too much on PLENTY of OEM mods . Plus, OEM mods are always much more expensive than aftermarket sometimes.

anyone know how much a UHI harness is going for installed? I'm assuming it needs to be installed by the dealer or someone professional since it deals with running wires from trunk to h/u and involves the computer or w/e?...

My driver's side is doin' the same thing, but I haven't had any battery draining problems since my convenience modules were replaced before warranty ended.

holy crap...did you electrocute your car or something. Start with by checking the rear fuses in the rear sam. Looks like there's a malfunction on your over head compartment and your seat control modules. Try unplugging the seat control modules and i believe fuse 9 of the rear sam. see if it stops the drain.

I dunno. I just noticed recently that I couldn't move my driver side mirror up or down. But the seat modules got replaced right before warranty ended last year.
