Audiovox Pro 9275t  keyless remote start, installed 2 months ago on 2006 Ford Explorer.  Unit functions OK,  but is causing a current draw that kills vehicle battery in 2 days.  The remote starter only pulls 11 mA by itself, but must be keeping a vehicle module awake.  Most connections are through the Smart Junction Box (SJB) (locks, brake, pk lights and trunk release)  I just tapped directly into these wires as per diagram.  Any Ideas?

The circuit staying on is fused at 5 amps, labelled SJB Microcontroller Power.

That unit uses transistor outputs for the lock wires, you need to add relays to avoid the battery drain problem on this vehicle. Should be pretty straight forward check your amp draw at the battery, and then unplug the lock harness from the module and check it again.
