You are correct Mr SHOGUN, panel of IHKR was removed --happy typing ok, P O had wires from previous sound system scattered throughout console and through glove box along with behind panel -- none of which were touching any of the controls.
Thanks Bill P ... so far so good relay replaced, I did notice a burnt looking appearance at recv'ng end of relay -- fuse 46 re-installed and now no longer a drain. Thanks again. I have noticed how car now hesitates to a near stall at stop lights or stop signs. This though started after I reinstalled alternator, maybe I should readjust ??
