Hummer won't start.... AGAIN
Apologies,, I am chasing two issues.. A DRAIN hose, and a Parasitic Drain on the Battery.
I have not identified (though testing) the actual drain on the battery. We are chasing that and unplugging systems..
I tried using a meter to detect the drain and had no success as it is random.

i remember on older GM vehicles the alternator would get stuck and pull current. maybe try checking the alternator for a parasitic draw. another thing on gm trucks that can cause a draw is the instrument cluster not going to sleep after a set amount of time like it is supposed to. i personally had an issue with a bad XM satellite radio factory GM module going bad and causing a drain.
I took mine to a mechanic and all they did was hook up a multimeter to the battery and pull the fuses until they figured out what made the constant draw go away. That's what you need to do to figure it out, either by using another multimeter to test the fuses or by pulling the fuses 1 by 1. The reason I didn't figure it out myself is because the blower motor was a big fuse that couldn't be checked with a multimeter. I didn't want to just pull the fuses but that's what my mechanic was doing. Also sometimes you have to wait a few minutes after each fuse is pulled because it can wake up other computers or do something to trigger the voltage
