I have a parasitic draw that I can not diagnose correctly. If the truck sits for a day or two the battery is dead. I took the negative terminal off and measured the draw between the negative terminal and the battery, its 0.4-0.5A. We pulled each fuse from the panel one at a time, and none of them changed the draw. I unplugged the fusable link, and the draw went to 0.0A. So next, I plugged the fuse back in and unplugged the alternator, and the draw stopped, 0.0A on the meter.
I replaced the alternator with an aftermarket one from Autozone. I gave the OEM to an alternator shop to see if they can rebuild it. It is still at their shop, but I have had the draw since I had a new distributor (DUI) on, and at the same time replaced the alternator.
Here are a few pictures. A few basic questions for you fellas, the fusible links should be considered good if I can get continuity between the ends? Do I have the alternator hooked up correctly? The old OEM looked like it had an external regulator, but the new alternator is internal(?) and the posts are slightly different.
Any suggestions or things to try?
