I can't think of the name off hand, maybe Wile1 will chime in. He recommended the shop and they found my electrical issue(which I couldn't find) within a couple hours.

See if VR is grounded good. key on eng off see if both VR terminals read battery voltage(or close to it). Holler back. live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

You are running off of the battery with reading of 11.7 - 12.0 volts.
