I've escaped from the fleet of cement trucks for a day. So now I've got a sport trac exploder with a mystery parasitic battery draw.

Pull all the fuses and put them back one at a time.

Nice meter. Sometimes you just need an analog needle.

I haven’t crawled around a Sport Trak in a while. Did they have cargo lights in the bed? Trying to figure out what this could be.  I’m curious what the culprit is.

I found an aftermarket remote start and bypass, waiting to hear back from the owner as to whether it works or if he even knew it was there.  that’s my prime suspect for right now.
