JDC,

I am going to keep after this problem until I find the problem. I will post the
details of the fix when I find it.
The basic process is to put and ammeter in series with the battery and pull
fuses one by one and if one of them removes the drain you have found a circuit
that is causing the drain. Then if there are more than one devices on that
fuse, you either disconnect them one by one or trace a short in the wiring. It
is a tedious job but that's the way you do it.
There might be devices that have this tendency to short but I do not know of
any. I just got the car a few short weeks ago.

HTH,
Jay

We had battery drain on a 93 impreza, a healthy4 or so amps. heard clicking
when connecting the battery terminal and traced it to the rear door lock
solenoid. Our solution was to pull the fuse for the door locks.

No, everything on the car is Subaru and was instslled by the dealer.

Intresting thing is that since I started 'poking around' it has not done
it!
may be something was stuck 'on' or some wire pinched somewhere. I hate it
when
things fix themselves.
