I'm looking for ideas here. I have a battery draw that I cannot find in my '00 F250 7.3. I have disconnected the batteries and pulled each fuse one at a time and nothing there is creating the draw. I replaced the glow plug relay because it was giving me fits uppon starting. However I did disconnect the power wire and check for a power drain there, as well as the air intake preheater. Nodifference. I am at my wits end trying to find this issue. I anyone has an idea, please help. thanks guys

oh its a heavy draw, it will kill both 850 cca batteries in about 2 hours

Kelly is your man when it comes to things like this, I am sure he will chime in when he gets time to get on here.

If mark doesn't square you away let me know. A drain repair is a couple of test light (for those without an amp clamp) tests away. A large draw is even faster.

You can search on here for my drain thread. It may give you some ideas, although mine is still not fixed.

Found the manifold intake air heater relay sticking. Replaced with a new relay. So far, good to go. Thanks for the help.
