Current draw on battery, possibly glowshift gauges?

You mentioned that you measured the current draw at <100mA. How did you measure it? Have you actually measured how much current is drawn with the car powered off (using a clamp-on ammeter or pulling the negative battery lead and putting an ammeter between the negative battery terminal and the negative battery cable)?

Luckily I bitched enough so I didn't have to pay when I picked it up. I measured with an in-line ammeter on the ground of all three gauges combined. If I can remember correctly it was somewhere in the ballpark of 5mA. I went to go under the hood today and measure the current draw of the whole car. Guess what?

The hood release latch beneath the dash is GONE!!!!

Seriously, wtf is up with these guys? Now I can't test anything under the hood because their dumb asses are lazy and can't do their job for shit.
