Re: Parasitic Draw - usual suspects?
I dont think you have let the body control module go to sleep. After you shut the truck off it takes few minutes, opening a door, Pulling a fuse, keyless entry, etc.. will wake the system back up. I dont think you can go off the interior lights as an indicator either.
Where ever your taking this reading, hold it there or jam the meter tips in so you can get a reading after 10 minutes.
The draw your saying would kill a battery in 3-5 hours.
The factory spec when all modules are asleep should not exceed 25 mA.
25 mA should last 30 days
250 mA draw would kill a battery in 3 days.
750 mA - 1 day
How long is the truck lasting before it wont start?
Do you have or know someone you can borrow a parasitic load switch from? Really need to know what your pulling right at the battery...which will also indicate to you when the system goes to sleep.
