Hey yall, i have a 2000 ford ranger, i have a parasitic draw problem. I ran the test and im pulling a 1/4 amp after they key is off and out of the ignition there is no lights on and i checked for voltage at each fuse and narrowed it down to the right one. When i pull out fuse 26 the draw dies out. In that circuit i have the GEM module, the trans shift module and a few others i cant remember without all data in front of me. I was wondering if anyone has seen this problem and if they found an easy fix, maybe a stuck relay of something? If you got any ideas or if youve had this problem hit me up idk if ya txt me or email what ever works but i wanna get this fixed so i can get the new battery too the battery has been recharged and drained so many times because of this problem that it is now trash and i do not wanna let it go too long then ill burn up my alternator. Hit me up.

I figured it out! My battery was just junk which I knew but the GEM mod on fuse 26 takes anywhere from 45min too an hour n a half to go to sleep. This whole time it draws between. .50 amps to. .261 amps mine took 1.5 hours to go to sleep this draw for that amount of time killed my battery. After the 1.5 hours it went to spec. .05 amps of parasitic draw. Thanks for the help tho!
