Not sure how you are measuring the 9.5mA current drain. When the becm is asleep the the battery drain on a 95MY is about 30 to 35mA. If its a newer becm then its better ~20 to 25 mA. 9.5mA is too low. These figures are when you measure the drain at the battery. If you have a good battery, that is fully charged and it goes flat after a couple of hours, you have a big battery discharge level (and its more than a becm not going to sleep). Make sure no one has incorrectly wired in any accessories incorrectly eg phones etc, to a wire that is a permanent batt ve+.
While you are doing your checks, see if the becm is going to sleep, if its not, then typically your battery will flatten over a weekend (a none sleeping becm will add about 500mA to the battery drain).
Ref moisture, there are 2 rubber drain outlets for the A/C under the car below the heater unit. These get blocked easily and can cause the misting problems.
Thanks David, but all those issues have been resolved, though I appreciate 10 pages of posts was probably a little too much to read through, so I'll summarise; Incorrect readings were due to a faulty multimeter and condensation only lasted a few days and never came back. Battery drain was caused by transfer box ecu, not becm, and the battery was knackered as a result of all the charging & discharging it had undoubtedly undergone prior to me buying the car a few weeks ago.

As far as I'm concerned, this thread can be put to bed. Thanks to all those who took the time to reply.
