I have 2004 chevy suburban 1500 LT and was having a battery draw issue also. After testing and pulling fuses, turns out that it was the aftermarket radio that was installed prior to me owning the vehicle.
how about the negative battery cable connection or the aftermarket alarm or radio wiring , when I don't lock the doors with my key fob the battery doesn't drain good luck I have a 04 suburban yes check to see if the front seat motors are hot too.👍
Ours is doing the same thing any suggestions on how to fix? Pulled fuzes and checked connectors as well as switches it will go anywhere from 3 days to 15 minutes at the gas pump to for the battery to die
I've checked every damn fuse twice and nothing, alternator is not the cause. Gonna check the bright light switch. It comes on sometimes when everything is off & lights aren't on bright...Nothing in any of the cigarette lighters
Same Rig….same Problem …20% battery drop overnight….looking at the Starter….one guy said he did so on a whim…experiencing draw….and it was the cure…new Starter….I am looking at the under driver seat connections and wires tomorrow…good luck.
So far I've been able to leave the rig parked for 2 to 3 weeks and it cranks right up nice and strong. Apparently I've unknowingly fixed the issue. I literally unplugged and reconnected every single electrical connection on it and only found 2 that had some blue corrosion that I fixed. I did replace the alternator, a sunroof switch and recovered the 3 piece headliner. I wish I knew what I did but I literally have no idea. 🤣
@@boostnloose637 sounds good …i just put a New NAPA Alternator on and it made noise on start up… drove about 50 miles over 2 days… now it gets red Hot and makes more Noise…that is bad..parts are crap now… said it was Tested… BS….gonna try again and put the new Starter on and hope i got a good one… this is getting old fast … i will try all the connectors.. just did all the Ground connections…hope i find the Parasite soon.
I have accidentally fixed the problem. I wish I knew what I done but I can tell you it wasn't easy. There isn't a electrical connection on that rig I didn't unplug and check. There was only 2 plugs that had corrosion, but I corrected that issue. I dropped the headliner and had the 3 pieces recoverd with new fabric. There was only 2 items I replaced, the alternator and sunroof switch. So I honestly have no idea what the "fix" was. Good luck finding your issue bud!

Mine did that so I ran a kill switch to the negative terminal… problem solved. Fixed … not actually solved.

@@rayn3038 I totally agree with the cheap parts. You'll find it, it took me 3 weeks of trying everything before the problem fixed itself lol
Ive got the same problem battery dead in a week
