Most "mechanics" have no clue what current is or how ohm's law works.

This applies to dealerships as well. I'd bet you $50 the ECM is not draining your battery.


Also, if the light out indicator keeps coming on - try to notice WHEN it comes on. Mine came on and I could not figure out why - turned out, it was a brake light.
