Battery drain when truck left idle for 7 days

[howster]

Seems to be the F43 fuse causing the draw. Goes from 0.14 A to 0.03A when removed. When I replace the fuse a few seconds later it stays at 0.03A. I understand 0.03A is a favorable value? I have to remove this fuse each time to get draw down to 0.03A. Appears to be the collision detection and front/rear USBs fuse. Anyone have a similar issue or recommend next steps?
There are no devices whatsoever in any of the USB ports btw.
Thanks.

My battery attached.

The saga continues. So it appears the internal F43 fuse receives current for 60 minutes after the truck is inactive and then the parasitic draw will drop to 0.03A. F43 is the USB's and collision detector. Long story short, the truck doesn't have a parasitic draw issue. Lol. So I'm back now to thinking I should just replace the battery despite AAA testing it and saying it was fine.
I also noticed that the F43 fuse must be upside down otherwise your rear camera won't activate and the uConnect display will be incorrect and missing lots of features. An adventure for sure.
Anyway my experience may help others

Upside down? Must look or be built different than any fuse I have ever seen.

Fuses do not have a direction. It doesn't make any difference which way they are installed.

.03 is fine. .14 lil much, not sure why those systems stay active for that long. Go into your U Connect settings, there are settings for how long the truck will stay up till goes to sleep like how U turn off the key and radio still works and see what it is set at and put to a much lower value. After that, depending upon how U feel, either put on a battery tender or U may be stuck with a trip to dealer, a choice you have to make. DOES sound like if U have not yet done so, get a new battery. If possible, have Auto store if they offer service, put battery on a charger to get to full charge. If they do not, when U get home, put on charger to charge fully, as batteries on a shelf tend to be at 70-80% while stored.

FYI:
WHEN I shut my truck off, get out, look at Multi-meter attached to battery, I can see when the systems shut down, as my battery goes from 12.2 ish to 12.6 after like 10 minutes, takes that long for systems to shut down. ALSO, remember, your RF hub will always be live and drawing some power as it has to be active to read a FOB signal.

ALL above IMHO...

My 2014 is doing something similar and well may have since it was new. I just started leaving it sit for weeks at a time and if not on a battery tender it goes dead. I paid a shop a couple hundred dollars to chase it down and they were unable after a couple hours. I didn't want to keep paying them so I just live with it. When I'm at my house where my truck is it's no problem as I drive it at least 1-2X/day. When I leave I just plug it in. Not ideal but not a huge deal.
