C4 Battery draw

[Lee D.]

Have a 84 vette which had a battery draw of 5plus amps when in the off position. Battery kept going dead, checked radio,amps, and every other darn thing I could find. finally sent dash cluster out to repair shop. They replaced the power supply. Battery draw is know 2.2 amps.
Does anyone know what the draw is supposed to be when you place an ammeter between the red post and and the hot to the car?
Thanks,
Lee

I know it souold be in the Millamp range, not amps. I think under 100 Millamp is what we used to look at as "ok" I know it took about 3-4 months to flatten a battery in my '84 and my '85 when they were new.
