Every couple of weeks I end up with a dead battery.
I pulled the positive battery cable and put a volt meter between it and the post (key out - everything off) and it was reading 12+ V - when it should read Zero V.
I proceeded to pull every fuse and relay - one at a time - and last but not least - pulled of forward "mega fuse" wire and voltage went to zero. So something on this line is draining current - but I can't find any info on what items this line feeds - or where it may possibly have a wire rubbed raw and contacting the frame..
Truck has lead a pretty easy life - parked outside - coast environment, but no rust - corrosion - or outside or undercarraige damage.
Anyone have any answers or suggestions - or have this problem in the past?
Thanks.
