It is lower than average which is good. Mine runs just below .02 amp.
That red light is still illuminated in a solid fashion on the spoiler override button on the console. Is that normal?
No it is not.
I"d start the engine and measure battery voltage right across the battery (make sure you change the leads to the right jacks first).
The battery voltage should be 13.80-14.20 with the engine idling and up to 14.4 at 2000 rpm.
