Parasitic Draw That Needs Multiple Fuses and Computer Unplugged
Hey there, I'm just going to jump into it. I started chasing a 4amp draw. I pulled fuses untell I found that I needed to pull the flasher relay, I.O.D 10A fuse, PWR LOCK 10A fuse. On top of having those unplugged I have the far right plug in the computer unplugged. If I plug any of those in I have a 4amp draw. I'm just needing some advice where to go from here. Thanks in advance.

Exorcist .... ? It would help to know what year/model/engine truck you have though.

I think you mean milliamp not amp.

Sorry it's a 2001 Ram 1500 with a 5.9 it was an automatic and I switched to a manual. I put the manual computer in and have been driving no problem for almost 2 years like that. And I have my meter on the Amp setting not Milla Amp and it reads 3.89A.

Is there a light staying on? Glove box? Under hood? Ashtray?

Try disconnecting the central timer module. A lot of stuff is not going to work but see if the current draw goes away.

https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/dodgefo...8aac81c663.jpg This is what I unplugged. From my Google search this is the central timing module or bcm? I unplugged it and still had this draw. |
Yes that's the module. It's the only thing I can think of that connects to the PCM bus and the power feed for the power locks. I'm puzzled that you have to break multiple connections to stop the current draw. What are the exact fuse numbers that you are pulling ? Is there anything aftermarket electrical ?

It's fuse number 12, 13 and the flasher relay in the truck and the computer far right plug. I had an amp hooked up to the battery but I disconnected all of that and disconnected all my radio wires to make sure it wasn't something along those lines. I even disconnected the main light switch to see and still have the draw.
