Parasitic current draw
Well I had enough of the dead battery from my parasitic current draw. I tried to hunt it down and tried all different types of troubleshooting techniquies with no luck.
I solved my problem and though I would share.
The PriorityStart! 12 Volt ProMax ~ $85
Easy to install. Works everytime.

Re: Parasitic current draw
you can search off my name, i've had a bunch of issues in the past. Everytime its always been some accessory I added that was before the factory fuse block where you would be taking all the readings.

Re: Parasitic current draw
New poster but I may be able to help. Disconnect the negative battery terminal. Connect one end of the test light to the cable and the other end to the battery. Close all the doors and make sure the truck is off. If the test light lights up you have a draw. Start removing fuses until the light goes out. That is the circuit that is causing the draw.
You will have a draw from the clock in the radio but it usually is not enough to light up the test light. If you have a multimeter hook it up the same way and look at the amp draw. Anything above 500 ma will drain the battery and is not normal.
Hope that helps,
Sean

Re: Parasitic current draw
500mA will drain a battery in about 2 days, really you should see no more than around 50mA after all modules have gone to "sleep"
