Does anyone know how much current should be drawn from the battery when the ignition switch is off, accessory and on? I'm trying to figure out if I have any EXCESSIVE Parasitic current Draw. I did some testing with my Ampmeter and it shows:

. with ignition off 0 A
- with ignition accessory 0.5A
- with ignition on (without the engine running) 11A for about 3-5 sec. and then drops to 7.5 A. Is this normal ? I know that every time you turn the ignition on, the fuel pump kicks in for few seconds. I have no idea how much of a current that should draw but does 7.5 A sounds good or it should be a little less?

I think it is...

Are all the doors closed and everything is off?
