Hi everyone, I’ve been dealing with a parasite drain on my Laramie for close to 2 years now. I don’t drive the truck every day.
I replaced the alternator, battery (2 now) and put a switch on my U-Connect which I turn off when I park the truck ( it was drawing 3.14 amps when the truck was off) I did some research and replaced the TIPM thinking it was the fuel pump relay but, the problem didn’t go away. My mechanic had it for a week, and said all was good except possibly the battery (hence the 2nd one). I continued pulling the IOD fuse and putting a charger on the battery when I parked it. The battery stays charged when the charger is on it, but even with the IOD fuse pulled, without the charger, it will die in 3-4 days.
To help narrow down the problem, does anyone know what circuits stay live when the IOD fuse is pulled? I’d appreciate any help. Thanks.
