Perform a parasitic battery draw (Watch YouTube). Check under the hood relays and pull the AC magnetic clutch relay. A good miliamp reading will be below 50 miliamps. Mine was reading 323 miliamps, pulled the #7 Backup fuse located below the drivers left kick panel and dropped to 2 miliamp. This fuse controls the rear sliding doors and might have a tuck micromawitch
