im experiencing an electric draw. It will kill the battery if you leave the fuse in all night. I do know that the draw is on the fuse that's under the hood, It works the constant hot to radio, dash clock, dash lights, dome lights, and running lights. I know this because if pull that fuse i experience no problems besides the obvious. Whatever it is its on the fuse under the hood. Any help would be appreciated.

P.S. I just signed up a couple of days and im amazed as to the info on this site. Its been 8+ years since ive built a mini and had no idea so many still did. Last mini was '87 S10 body dropped on "18's back in 1996. It feels good to be back.

no system. would no corner lights pull a draw. i just bought this truck less than a week ago. its all stock. the wires were just cut where the corners were.

would the memory on the head unit or the dash clock pull enough over night for it not to start?

id say that if the light wires were cut... check them to see if they are touching each other and aren't just taped over (rigged).... stock deck? the memory on the clock doesn't pull hardly any juice even with it light up....
