Hi all!

Woke up this morning to a dead battery. First deep freeze of the year so that definitely wasn't helping things. Normally I'd suspect the battery but it's only six months old and hasn't seen a winter yet. A test at Advanced auto confirmed that it was A-OK.

Started poking around a decided to measure the current draw with the truck powered off. Disconnected all aftermarket accessories and probed the current from the battery terminal to the main power lead and got an initial burst of 500-600mA and a stable 160-180mA after that. Now, that seems exceedingly high from my point of view.

Curious if anyone else has measured the ignition-off current from their battery. If this is actually normal than so be it, but I'd like to know if I need to start poking around the factory fuses to see if something's drawing more than it should be.

Looking around, I couldn't find a thread on 5th gen current draw but please direct me if I'm wrong.

Cheers!
