besides my cut wires post, I have removed my dead siren. No more battery drain, however I just noticed for the first time when I depress either window switch my dome light flickers. This may have been going on before. Just haven’t noticed because I have always had my done light automatic switch turned off. Just put in new led dome light bulbs and removed TPMS WIRE from slot 2 and moved to 6 . Done without ruining any other wires or sockets. So now, another dilemma to address. UGGGH
IDEAS PLEASE, if there are any. Thanks a million. And please keep in mind, I am very mechanically inclined, but far from perfect or knowing everything about our crossfires.
THANKS

The LED's are making the dome lights flicker when depressing the window switches. I had the same issue and went back to incandescent bulbs.
My LED dome lamps flicker as they reduce/turn off. They have ALWAYS done this so I just ignore them. Small price to pay for the brighter LED light. Your issue sounds like a loose bulb, maybe? Good luck!

1) That is because the feed from the 200 amp fuse to splice block 100 is nothing more than two parallel runs of #10*. Block 100 powers almost every battery feed in the car (other than ABS, Cooling Fan and Pulse module). The power top motor/pump and power window battery feeds should come from a separate fuse in the little fuse box next to the battery, but they opted to put those high-current devices in with everything else. Had they done the same thing with the ABS controller, you'd see even more flickering. (*Actually, the 2007 service manual says two #10s, but my SE has only one #10 so I am not sure if ANY car actually got the two conductors.)
2) No, you are just over-critiquing the car and that is leading to you noticing normal characteristics of the car and thinking they may be problems.

I have LEDs in the dome light and have not noticed any flicker, but there again I have not looked.😉
