So I've been troubleshooting a parasitic drain. If the truck sits for too long the battery drains. The instrument panel cluster was already replaced by the previous owner. I am in the process of doing the troubleshooting flow in this video.
When I measure inline with the battery, the current starts at 1.5A and then after about 3 seconds goes up to 2.5A. This happens every time. What could be turning on after a few seconds that is draining 1A of current?
I already tested the current draw at every fuse and the total draw adds up to ~1.5A, so there is another 1A that appears to be draining independent of the fuses. Any ideas what it could be? I know 1.5A is already too high for current consumption with nothing powered on and will go through the
I'm currently trying to clean the BCM grounds and checking the INFO fuse as mentioned here and here
