Park for 3 days, no start due to dead batteries.
Fellow found out I do this kind of stuff, so I get the truck, great.
First showed a draw on the starter WTF?
Then that went away about the time I bumped the heated seat control. Now draw is the instrument cluster circuit (also has courtesy lights, power mirror, and god knows what).
So I drop the fuse access panel and find the wiring harness butchered, cut and whatever spliced in.
Plus, an unfused #8 wire bolted to the hot post on a battery and going through the firewall, not even a grommet to protect the HOT wire.
I have to remove all that aftermarket radio and other junk before I can even see if he really has a problem. These things do have wire chafing problems in the steering column and gauge cluster problems that are $$$$ to repair.
We will see.
