    I have a 2002 liberty. Chasing a parasitic drain, I started running through the fuse box under the hood. I had a constant 169 milliamp draw with everything off. When I got the the EATX relay and pulled it out, the milliamps dropped to 80 milliamps. I believe it should be no higher than 50 milliamps. My question is, can this relay be bad and cause the drain on the battery? also, should I continue to check the fuses to see if the milliamps will drop further? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, John

    The EATX relay is related to the Transmission Control Module. Unfortunately, that's about the extent of my knowledge on the subject. I'd ask around for a very good transmission man in your area and have them troubleshoot the issue. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
