Something is causing my instrument panel to click after my truck is off and it’s causing my battery to drain. I have a brand new battery but it still drained it. I have no idea what could be causing it. I checked all of my fuses and they all seem to be fine.

 

What are you driving?

 

I fixed the title my b

 

I am not finding anything that should be causing that clicking... unless it is one of the actuators for the hvac..... I was thinkin' maybe a relay, but, not seeing any in HVAC or Instrument Cluster diagrams.....

 

could I be something else in the circuit path that could be causing a parasitic draw? It almost seems like something in the instrument cluster is either not being fully shut off or something is trying to power it on over and over again causing that draw. I have disconnected the cluster for now to and once I get the battery charged back up again, I’m going to see if I can diagnose the draw by just disconnecting and reconnecting things to see what’s causing it then.

 

Are any lights on in the cluster when ignition is off? Any lights flickering ANYWHERE in the cab???

 

not at all

 

Drop the knee bolster, and see if you can figure out exactly WHAT is making the noise...... Go from there.
