Draining battery

[Valariza]

We have a 2010 Ram 1500 and have been unable to drive it due to something rapidly draining the battery. It spit out several different codes and after going through them and unable to diagnose ourselves,We took it to electrician. Prior to taking it to electrician we replaced the battery and alternator. The electrician could not figure out issue and then told us it was the TIPM, which was more like a guess on his part. We have replaced the battery, alternator, ECM, TIPM and checked/replaced ground straps and fuses. The problem continues and we are stuck at where to go from here. Any suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Thats an expensive load for parts cannon! Curious to see what the issue is.

FInd another mechanic they need to start pulling fuses until the current draw stops and then they can focus on that circut.

Yeah. OP, there are some really good youtube videos on finding electrical draws. Probably best to do a search and watch a few. Not usually that difficult if you take a methodical approach.

Key thing to keep in mind is modern vehicles take a stepped approach before the 'computer' goes into 'sleep mode'. It's outlined in some of the videos.

OP - there is a big difference between technicians
and "exchang-icians" who will throw parts at an issue
with minimal or no troubleshooting or testing.

The likelihood is that you end up with a bunch of new
parts you didn't really need in the first place, you take
a chance the problem is causing damage to the newly
installed parts making it even more difficult and expensive
to repair.
I speak from years of experience following "exchang-icians".

Based solely on your post it does sound like you need better
help with this. The root cause of the problem is RARELY
more than one thing, although the one thing can initially
take another part down with it.

I'm afraid this is all the help I can offer, but good luck.
Hopefully the responses here so far will point you in the
right direction.
