Hmmm - one of the reasons I hate the "tap" method - too many wire that are red! I suppose it's possible that you left something in the car in an "on" state without realizing it when you tapped the "wrong" red wire, but I've never heard of anyone else having a battery drain issue...

I'd say jump start the puppy, and see if everything is working, specifically the seat heaters, air-scarf, seat adjustments, and windows. Also, I've left the overhead light on in other cars when working on them too late in the evening, so maybe it's something as simple as that.

Good luck, post a follow up and let us know what's happened. I'd also suggest that since you need to drive the car a bit to charge the battery, go grab an "add a circuit" or fuse tap and forget the wire taps!

Also pictures are worth a lot - try posting one of your front canbus connector set since you are having problems finding the right position.
