why did it still draw 160ma if the light was out? Interesting find, though

My initial test to check for light was a failure...I did not understand my new iPhone. So I went on this long journey looking for the cause of this current drain when in fact the glove box light was always on. My attempt to verify my original finding actually told me that I had made a mistake. But as I said, I have no regrets...it was a great mental and physical experience. Wlutz
