Draw was down to about 200ma after a bit and opening the door shot it up to 1.1a. Even that low still seems too high and a large group 65 agm shouldn't be dead sitting for a week.

That is definitely too much when you lock it with the remote. I can't remember what I measured exactly, but it was way below 100mA.
