Update on my Suzuki Samurai: Mariko. The mechanic in Page, AZ found the problem. The ECM or Electronics Control Module (I didn't even realize it had one!) had fried and taken out the fusible link along with it.
It took the mechanic, Mike, who is the owner of Sunwest Marine, Auto and RV, a long time to trace down the mystery current draw in the Samurai's electronics; but as soon as he disconnected the ECM, the mystery current draw was gone! I don't think I would have ever found the damn thing, not even knowing it was there.
However, the Samurai's ECM is no longer made by Hitachi and Mike was unable to locate a used one nearby , his online parts guy only finding one in New York state. I told him never mind, hook everything up he'd disconnected while troubleshooting, and that I'd pick up the Samurai today.
Yesterday, I rode Yagi, my TW200 motorcycle over to the Page Shores Amphitheater to check out it's rock formations. You see, the amphitheater itself uses natural rock formations to form the stage.
I'll be leaving the Page, AZ area tomorrow, heading towards New Mexico, meandering my way east towards I-25.

Wow, those are spectacular rock layers and formations.
Do they allow driving on them? It looks like trails boundary rocks laid out?
Thanks CCjon, no driving on the rocks at the New Wave.... Not sure if the park service laid out the trail markers or someone else. It would be quite a challenge to drive or ride the rocks at the new wave, the sloping sides get pretty steep!
Dom, your pictures of the formations are fantastic. Thank you for sharing them. :-)
Thanks for the kind words Brook
Sorry about the ECM failure, a pretty tough thing to work around or bypass.
Once again, I'm envious of your time out there in the high desert. I miss it and need to get back and spend real time there. Maybe soon!
Spectacular, Dom. You always discover Mother Nature's best pieces of art.
Danke SonjaM, at this location, mother nature makes it easy to get decent pics!
The formations are so amazing. Only ridden in Utah once, but I want to go back. Your photos are great.
Thanks Oz! Utah is definitely one of my favorite states to ride in.
Of course, Oz, these rock formations are technically in Arizona with the Utah border just a couple miles down the road
