Batt goes dead overnight. Found 5 amp draw when key is off. Think its in the pink wire coming out of fuse 15. Anyone have a wiring diagram?

FOund the original big ground batt cable under PO crap in bed of truck. WHere do you bolt the eye?

I cut out the black duck's foot thingy and put in fuse block for fusible links. The wire closest to block is gone. What color would it be and what did it do? Don't have a clue how PO bypassed this

Thanks in advance Jim

This may be a stupid question, but do you have any after market electronics, like stereo, sub woofer, cb, etc., that may be wired to always on hot?...Mark

If the draw is with the key off it could be the ignition switch. Try to turn things on in the cab that are key on power if the come on with the key off its the switch.

Thanks, but No aftermarket. Truck is basically stock - well it does have pacbrake and Banks air intake and remote fuel filter. The PO did not tell me about 5 amp draw. I just want to fix it. Hoping fixing that problem may help to solve shut down solenoid problem

There is a wiring diagram in the sticky. If you've isolated the problem to 1 fuse, you are on your way.

Thanks Greed 93 and dzl damon,
I'm following the wiring diagram and disconnecting everything hooked into the oink wire. WHole dash is apart!! No luck yet. WHERE is the Time Delay Relay? Can't find it. Pink comes into this relay and then goes to ign S. Thanks, Jim

OK, I found the time delay relay. Pulled it and 5 amp draw went away. No Mopar P/N on it. "Assembled in Haiti using USA parts." No wonder it falied.
BUT STILL NEED
Where do you attach the eye of the big black batt ground?
ANd I am missing one wire out of the black duck foot thingy. The wire that would be closest to the engine block.
Thanks

Anyone?

If you were talking about the wired coming off of the battery about 6 or 8 inches long it hooks to a screw right beside a radiator support. It is the primary ground for the truck.

tech-eh

the black duck thingy would it be the splinter for the fusible links they should be orange (the links ) wires coming out of it .

Thanks Santaclaus
I'll attach the fat cable there.

tech-eh, On the black duck thingy, I had missing, orange, white, green, orange. What wire is missing & where did it go? Trying to figure out what the PO did. Need to have someone look under thier hood and check the color of the wires. BTW, my truck came from Canada - metric odometer.
