Hey all,
I’ve had an issue the last few months where my battery will die after just a few days of sitting in my driveway. Tests were inconclusive, so I replaced the alternator and starter while getting a new battery under warranty. Even then, it was still dying. I left it on a solar trickle charger to get by.
I finally used an amp hound today, and I discovered my power mirrors are drawing 0.16 amps when the ignition is off. I did replace my mirrors a while back after someone busted one of them.
I know I can replace the faulty mirrors, but can I use a jumper like some use for the fuel pump issue? Mine is a 2012 1500.
