When reconnecting the negative cable to the house battery, with everything in the coach turned off, I saw the dreaded spark. My amp meter read about 7 milliamps. I removed all the house fuses but no change. Then I noticed the LED on the remote pendant of my PD9245 converter faintly blinking. Unplugged the pendant and the reading dropped to about 2.8 but still not zero. Anyone seen this before?

I do have a radio with memory but have a switch in line which I shut off. It was shut off during this event.
Thanks for the thought.

Sounds like you have some detective work ahead of you. I would say you will need to have your wiring diagram handy and start disconnecting various circuits till you find which ones are the cause of your drain. I found on mine it was a 12 VCR for one and the voltage regulator on the onan also. I unplugged the VCR and removed the regulator wires as it isn't needed in the later coaches.

7 ma. is nothing. Do not worry about it. A modern automobile body computer draws a little less than 20 ma. when it is sleeping.

I have a constant 1/2 amp draw that I have never located. I do not sweat the small stuff.
