I have a 2004 f150 that has had some wonky electrical issues for a while. One of them was battery drain. New battery. Good alternator. So yesterday I pulled fuses one by one, and used a meter to see when the milliamps dropped. I found 2 that were having a fair bit of drain and removed them. Both were related to the headlights. So I let it sit overnight to see if the battery still drains. It does indeed. And I happen to notice that there is a bulb on both sides that the filament is glowing. I believe these are the daytime running lights. They shouldn't even have power with the fuses pulled I don't think. Well I get to testing more things and find that with the negative battery cable disconnected, I read 12 volts between the negative post and the negative cable. That has to mean I have a short somewhere right? I haven't managed to locate one. Any advice on best way to go about finding it?
