Not too terribly difficult to find out. Pop out the F/P relay, find the correct pins, and then using Multi-meter that handles at least as much current as the fuse, (mine will for 15 seconds), simply measure the current draw, and then check battery voltage. On any of the GM vehicles my parents have, as well as my bike, this can be done with the engine and ignition off. Same goes for the ignition coil.

Also, I'd be tempted to try this, except I can't really hook up for a charge anywhere convenient right now. (Apartment).
