Hello

So I've figured I have about 3,1amp drain from the I.O.D circuit.

Do anybody have a clue on what can pull that many amps?

Any tips would be of great help!


What I did:
I measured over minus-pole and minus cable: 3,1amp
Removed 50amp main fuse: 0amp drain
Reinserted 5amp and removed I.O.D fuse: 0 drain.

I disconnected the radio, still 3,1Amp

So thats how far I've gotten so far

It appears that the previous owner had something up there, follow it down and see where it goes.

Just keep pulling fuses and wiring harness connectors until you find it.

Your truck has an aftermarket sunroof? Did you find out where those connectors went? I bet it has something to do with that sunroof up there!
