Default Re: mystery: light switch makes a click sound inside the door?!

Only thing I can think of is the satellite tracking device that the NSA
installed in your car, they are known to make clicking noises.

On a more serious note, 300mA is too much. I have about 40mA with a
security system installed. Could there be a trunk light stuck on?
