Acc = accessory (if you are referring to key position). This key position will allow certain things to have power when the truck isn't running.

I don't think you can take the key out with the ignition in ACC position...... Is your battery going dead overnight?

Hello,

i have checked, and yes I can pull out the key in all positions, the neiman have a issue, but I can start the engine and it run perfectly.

How to test the Neiman. someone have a doc for changing the Neiman?

does the consumption of 3 amp. is logical when I open the door?

I cannot let the battery ON, cause it died in a few hours. the consumption should be 4 to 10 milliamp, not 1 amp. Thanks for your support guys.

If you have a drain, even with ignition off (key switch), check and see if a light isn't staying on. Glove box, under hood, etc.
