Need help finding a short in my Suburban
#18
Have you figured it out yet? Had the same type of problem but due to knowing my way around my truck and volt meter I figured it out rather quickly. After replacing almost everything..... Turned out the battery was bad. And it was new. Truth is when your battery dies the plates inside of it can short. Yes that's right your battery can short itself out after dying just once. Walmart brand batteries I have heard are notorious for going dead. My truck has a few things that draw power so to avoid the battery discharging completely I start it every couple of days to let it charge the battery. Check it by charging the battery and then disconnect it completely from your truck. Give it a while and check it with your volt meter. If its dropping on its own its the battery. If its not that then you can check the continuity of each fuse with the same meter. Either way my truck is a 2000 Chevy and I've had problems that I've solved already that sound similar to what you're experiencing. Hope this helps
