After minutes for allowing the vehicle's electronics go to sleep a .17 amp draw remains present. Found circuit on fuse #25 to be the culprit -- a 7.5a fuse which drives the speedometer and GEM system. A search didn't uncover this as a typical issue, hoping someone can offer a bit of insight. I understand GEM is a module but not sure if the speedo reference is inclusive in the GEM or separate (one or two possible targets for inspection or replacement).
This .17a draw would not be a problem if the truck were a daily driver but it can be weeks between diving and even a new battery can't seem to keep up.
