Ok, got about an hour to work on the car today.

I've got it narrowed down to MF 3 circuit. That's where the majority of the parasitic load is.

So, I went an pulled:
Satellite Fuse Box 1: F 1, 2 & 6
Satellite Fuse Box 2: F 1-6
Fascia Fuse Box: F 12

And 'nothin.

Still had about .5A being pulled.

It can only be the Seats. Right?!

Exclamation My mistake.

Ok, I've got the whole "didn't make a difference" thing figured out.

I hate dyslexia.

Now, I've narrowed all of my extraneous parasitic load is going through F 9 in the Fascia Fusebox.

When I consult the RAVE electrical trouble shooting manual, and the only thing on F 9 is the Rear Fog Lamp Relay (K231).

I then reference the Component Location Views section of the trouble shooting guide, and find that particular section of my truck doesn't compare to the NAS or except-NAS diagrams.

Further more, K231 is not illustrated on the NAS diagram. Its omitted all together.

So two questions?

If K231 is indeed the only load on F 9 on my truck, then where is it?

If K231 is not on my truck, as illustrated, what is the load off of F 9?

Thumbs up F 9.

Resolution.

So, I went underneith passengerside fascia, where the Rear Fog Lights Relay is supposed to be located, and pulled all the relays on the drop down panel trying to see if one of them would isolate my parasitic draw.

And got nothing.

However, with all the relay's replaced, I pulled F 9, and the truck started up fine. About a 5mA drain on the battery, which is to be expected.

After starting the truck, I put in F 9, and verified that it is indeed the Rear Fog Lights (which are just brighter red lights on the rear of the car).

I'm going to drive the truck without the ability to have the Rear Fog Lights, but we never used them anyway.

Assuming that I did pull the Rear Fog Lights relay, and still having the parasitic draw, means that there is a short somewhere in the cabling between F 9 and the relay?

Or, is there even a Relay on the NAS models, and it's the switch that's bad. But the lights weren't illumniated.
