    Have a 2015 rig that is having a draw on the battery from an unknown source. We have removed all of he fuses under the hood and under the dash but we still have a draw on the battery. Any ideas?

    Not sure whether it is related or not but the shifter is not shifting smoothly. I had to replace the battery because it was dead and would not hold a charge and did not have any noticed issues with the shifter before replacing the battery. Wondering whether there is current that might be pulled through the shifter that has an internal fuse or no fuse and a malfunction with it may be the culprit.

    What's the draw? Shouldn't be more than .07A, .02-.05 is better.
    I had a similar issue and it was the damn aftermarket remote start that was causing the issue. Ripped that sumbitch outta there so fast....

    Was just going to suggest remote start. I disabled an aftermarket one in a Corolla a couple years ago because it was killing everything.

    Interesting. Will have to take a look at that. See whether that is the causing the draw.

    I have had an AM remote in the truck for years and never experienced any issues in the past, but will take a look. Thank you for the suggestion(s)
