Went to start the truck the other morning and no go, batteries dead. Got recharged, went to connect and had a 6amp draw! Noticed rear taillamps were on. Went thru all the fuses and lamps stayed on -- any ideas? 2001 F350 7.3L tks Jay
Do you have a trailer brake controller on your truck? I had a '97 that would leave my brake lights on if I tilted the controller (by hitting it with my leg) a certain way.
Will have to take a peek at the idea .... I did pull the rear plug apart just incase something shorted out back there. pissing down rain right now - will check it out tomorrow. tks Jay
Got another chance to try something... got into the dash wiring and disconected the trailer brake unit ... behold - rear brake lights went out! Must be in the controller, only got a .4amp drain on batteries now (alarm/radio/ecm etc). Going to have that controller checked out. thanks for all the replies and ideas to all. If this does not correct the issue - I'll be back. thanks again. Jay:nod:
