I have a 2012 Ram 3500 6.7 . My truck batteries go dead in a few days when sitting, so I did a parasitic draw test with a multimeter on the drivers negative post and the passengers negative unhooked. The meter is reading 0.300 amp. I pulled fuses and no change till I pulled a bigger silver one labelled as CB1 memory power seats, it then dropped to 0.020 amp. What does this circuit breaker all power. What could be causing the power draw. Could the breaker itself be bad.

Is there another one you can switch with and see if it still pulls power? If if does, you’ve eliminated the breaker as the issue and it’s something else. Really not sure what the breaker is so I don’t know if this will work or not.
