OK, did some searches, but this seems to be unique.
Have had a parasitic draw that would almost flatten the battery overnight.
Found that something in the circuit for the courtesy lights was the culprit.
Using a Fluke meter that circuit was drawing about FOUR amps.
I pulled that fuse, and no more problems with flat battery.
But,, if their was a real "short circuit" it should easily blow the 10 amp fuse. and none of the lights in that circuit draw anywhere near 4 amps.
Jeepers, even if every light on the circuit was on it wouldn't be that much.
At ~4 amps, we're looking at about 50 watts of draw.
Anybody got any ideas.
Oh,, rig is a '97 K2500 Sub.
