So I've had some issues with battery drain (intermittently)
went out to use truck (stays parked a lot)
dead, had started 2 weeks prior after being parked for a month,
tried a noco booster pack, it kept faulting and shutting off (no battery present)
removed gnd from battery and tried again - noco shut off again (no battery present)
brought car over and hooked up cables, went to start
there was smoke coming from under dash
removed jumper cables
tried to see smoke, somewhere under dash drivers side
hooked up cables again, some more smoke, finished smoking
turned key, attempted crank, battery too low...
hooked up noco, and it started
of course everything now smells of burnt electronics
decided to check if lamps are working - safety....
all front bulbs work (headlights, signals, running lamps)
no rear bulbs functional except for reverse lights
Fuse 7, 22 are fine, and 12V on both sides of the fuse - supply wiring fine
since signalling and stuff works on front, assuming SJB may be functional
possible C2280A issue?? (burnt wiring - not checked yet (guessing), but would think a fuse would have blown)
possible SJB issue??, fuse will not blow if failure condition is below 15A
ignition switch??
Any Thoughts anyone...anyone..bueller...bueller
