My wifes 85 chevy had a bad trunk lite switch that kept the lite on.Day to day it was ok but needed a boost if it sat over the weekend.That bulb was a 1 amp drain at most.My wife went to visit her mother over a week end.Wouldnt start so her brother put a new battery in the car.Same trouble.I was haying so told her to have it checkd at a garage in the town she worked in.Mechanic put on a new alternator.Same trouble.No start when parked for 2 days.This was getting expensive.Got my meter and opened the hood and took the bulb out of the hood lite.Disconnect the battery and find a 1 amp drain.I open the trunk and touch the bulb with my finger,its hotter than a fire cracker.Its been on full time for about 2 weeks, that when the problem started.The chevy parts man said , thats a common problem .Disconnect the battery, let the bulb cool and take it out of the socket.New switch cost 4 bucks.Cost 200 bucks to fix a 4.00 problem.You truck has 2 batteries so it might last longer also new models has some full time current drains that can run batteries down.
