Rjm harness and drain on battery - blazinchuck - 11-02-2015
Getting ready for my trip this coming weekend and I noticed a drain on battery. Traced it down to one of the 4 fuses on the rjm harness. I'm reading 1.3 amps. I pulled fuses one by one, last fuse and the drain went away...down to .01. However these are connected to the 4 relays...so I pulled them one by one and never saw the drain stop...any thoughts? When I found the fuse I thought a relay was stuck...now IDK where to look

Chuck if the relays are like the ones I have been using they have a wire that is hot when the coil is energized and one hot when the coil is deenergized. I put a insulated butt splice on the wire that I am not using. Could it be possible that your relays are the same. If so are you sure that the extra wire is not grounding to the body when the relay is deenergized?
