Battery drain

[MR.REMBERT]

I keep my T1000 plugged into the OBD II port and if I dont drive the truck for a couple of days, it drains my battery. Anybody else have this problem? Possible fix, other than unplug everytime I get out?

Cheers

I'm pretty sure I've seen this posted several times, with the same fix - unplug it every time. I've yet to see any alternatives.

A simple search would confirm this.

Its a 13-14 thing. Only work around is unplugging it.

Mine did it on the '07 and it's taken my '09s batteries low as well... but only if I don't leave it in monitoring mode. The sleep mode when it's on a gauge page seems to drastically reduce the off key draw compared to it being on any other page even in 'sleep' mode.

Regardless of what you do on a 13-14 it will drain the battery, look outside @ night your gauges on the dash light up and go off... over and over.

Just talked to Mike Litsch @ Diablo he said to try setting sleep mode to 0. We will see... I will report back.
