install the next fuse. Continue this process with each fuse.

10. Once the main circuit is identified, continue to remove the fuses from the BCM one at a time and note the current reading. Do not reinstall the fuses until testing is finished. To correctly isolate each of the circuits, all of the fuses may need to be removed, then install one fuse and note the amperage draw, remove the fuse and install the next fuse. Continue this process with each fuse.

11. Check the Wiring Diagrams manual for any circuits that run from the battery without passing through the BJB or the BCM. If the current draw is still excessive, disconnect these circuits until the draw is found. Also, disconnect the generator electrical connections and retest if the draw cannot be located. The generator may be internally shorted, causing the current drain.
