Ignition Off Draw. It's for things like dome lights, radio memory, etc.

Underhood light is another possible culprit. And lets not forget a weak battery will behave the same.

As HryYou it's for things that get constant power even when the ignition is off. Radio is one (for the clock), dome light, etc

I found a blue led light that was staying on connected to my light bar I disconnected so hopefully that was the trick checked brake lines they looked fine they are still plastic and it seems my power steering pump still have some foamy bubbles in it not much but some with the steering seems when I turn left it doesn’t try to go back to center but right it will return to center maybe that has something to do with it being more effort to turn right then left but only a medium effort vs a light on a left turn and when I brake if my wheel is turned right it wants to push the truck right vs if I’m turning slightly left it wants to push left any ideas on these issues?

No. What you do is a visual inspection (assuming the truck doesn't shake when you press the brake). Then you see and feel (with your fingernail) if there are any groves in the rotor. If there are I replace them. I get my parts from RockAuto and rotors aren't that bad, but I recently started buying drilled and slotted

Oh gotcha if I send a photo of them maybe y’all can tell if they’re beyond turning them or something or if that’ll help never turned a set before and when I bought brakes I was asked if my truck was 7500 or 8800 gvw what’s the difference I didn’t know there was 2 different kinds
