My 92 has 21 milliamperes draw at rest or about 6 weeks until battery is to depleted to start it.
300K mi is a lot but cared for properly you could go 100k more. Don't replace anything because of miles verify failure or problem first.
Glad your back on the road in more ways than one!
Thanks for your help too !!
That was pretty rusty so didn't think it was able to make much pulsing and got lucky.

I thought I had found my phantom draw as one time I went back up to the shop were I parked it and noticed a red glow. Brake lights were on. Adjusted that but, nope, not it.
Got to find the connection that went bad for the electric windows once I get her off the car hauler too.
On to the next issue :-)
