Hi Noel! Hope spring has finally sprung in NH. Sounds similar to the problem with my green 97 CSE that my son has at UNH. He ended up putting a new battery in the car and it still killed the new battery. That car has a parasitic drain on it that he believes was the ACC but I haven't gotten verification on that yet. The ACC was pulling 300+ mA before he pulled the fuse but when he put it back in, the drain was gone. I had him borrow a meter, set it on the DC amp setting and connect it in series between the battery lead and terminal. Then he started pulling fuses one at a time and checked the current reading. I don't know how else to narrow it down. Good hunting!
