My 2006 Jeep CRD has a problem I'm trying to find. The problem is that if you don't drive it everyday,then the battery goes dead.Have replaced the battery,still same thing.I installed,a disconnect switch on the negative side,of my battery,and have found that I have a .076 draw from my battery,with the disconnect,in the off position,any idea's?

Do you have the tow package on your rig? We had the same thing happening to ours and since it was still under warranty, we took it to the dealer. They found that the relays for the tow package was connected incorrectly. They are supposed to be connected to key-on power, but were connected to always on power instead. The dealer fixed it, then replaced the battery and since we have been able to leave it for over a week and no problems.

Thanks for your reply,was that at your fuse box,on the side of your dash,or under the hood? Replies to this message: sthoge (Apr 09, 2009 11:11 am) caribou1 (Apr 10, 2009 9:58 am)

Replying to: buckmc (Apr 08, 2009 2:43 pm) I'm not really sure where it was connected at, just that they were connected to the wrong location. I wasn't the one to pick up the vehicle so I could have them show me. Replies to this message: caribou1 (Apr 10, 2009 9:58 am)

Replying to: sthoge (Apr 09, 2009 11:11 am) On my truck there is a dedicated 'leg' of the wiring harness hidden behind the left side panel, inside the trunk. This is where the trailer lights should be connected when using the official equipment. There should be a set of solid state relays to provide connection instead of ordinary 'Faston' connections.
