I bought a device that will allow me to undo a plastic knob and disconnect my battery. Should I put it on the ground or hot cable? The only negative affect seems to be that I would need to reset the clock each time I reconnected the battery; otherwise, I would think that no harm would come to the electronics.
Recently, it's gotten bad enough that it drained my battery.
I'm doing this on a 1997 Plymouth van, since in the rainy season dampness appears to get into the door latching electronics. That causes random attempts to lock and unlock the doors. It seems that normally it locks the doors, but then can't open them. Of course, I use a key to open the doors when necessary. It's easy to hear the mechanism try to open or close the latches.
