Parasitic Drain
Hi guys I just tested my parasitic drain and got 0.79A.
I checked all my fuses and found the following draws: Radio 0.50A, Cluster 0.09, BCM 0.07, Aux Power1/Cig lighter 0.03, Batt ignition switch 0.02, TCCM 0.02.
Are there any typical reasons/solutions for any of these draws?
Thanks

0.79mA=0.00079ATypically, the normal amount of parasitic draw is around 50mA=0.05A
Possibly green crusties inside fuse box?
Recommendation: deoxit that socket lol. Get some deoxit and spray it in each suspect fuse insert.
check ground splice pack c105 c106 located behind air box and near abs. Remove them. Clean them. Test them. Reattach them. Deoxit them.
Make certain battery and cable ends are clean, tight and have proper values. Aka 12.6v or better with truck off.
Alt should put out 14+V consistently.

In your very kind reply...and I am serious about being kind...your last sentence said:
"Alt should put out 14+V consistently."
Shouldn't that be changed to... consistently with truck running?
Just messing with you!!! Maybe it would have been funnier to you if I had used BOLD and a visual aid???
This has got to be more fun! You are one of the good ones.
