Parking Lamp Circuit Parisitic Draw

It means you have a modern vehicle that can be a pain to diagnose because of all the junk on it. Never figured out why getting from point A to point B with a combustion engine and 4 wheels had to be so complicated.

@PanteraGT5S and @franklin2 I am all ears now. I sincerely apologize for wasting your time and mine and I am open to any recommendations you have. The draw was typical for a resting vehicle at 0.01 after I did all of the above steps. My battery was dead after two weeks of sitting though, so I am not convinced that it was a light left on. I will leave the battery connected for now and see what it gets down to in a few days.

I must ask: What does all of this mean? Do I not have an electrical issue?

If you did the test properly, and it sounds like you finally did, and your draw is only .01amps, then you do not have a parasitic draw problem. Most likely your battery is going bad. Batteries will develop internal current paths after a while due to various reasons. These internal problems cause them to self-discharge.
