That 50A fuse feeds the headlamp switch (HDLP SW), aux power (AUX PWR), radio (RDO BATT), cigarette lighter (CIG), courtesy lamps (CTSY), and power locks (PWR LKS) fuses. Start with the smaller fuses and remove one at a time, recording the amperage draw if it changes.

0.09A is still a bit high. You should be down to 35mA (0.035A) after waiting 10 minutes or so for all of the systems to go to sleep.

On the fuel pump jumper, I know I have posted the information in the past. A search term like "fuel+pump+jumper" with an author of "swartlkk" should turn it up after a bit of sorting. If I had more time at the moment, I'd find it for you, but I don't.

Put the 50 a fuse back in & checked the fuses inside the door, the rdo batt. drops it down to .09 does that mean a sort in the radio? It plays fine . Jim

The RDO BATT fuse feeds the radio, instrument cluster, & Electronic Climate Control (ECC) Module (if equiped). You can go through and disconnect each of these items to see if the draw drops down.

Are you waiting for everything to go to sleep (>10 minutes) while observing the amp draw?

I,m sorry but i,m lost . Do i leave the rdo batt fuse out & check the other fuses one at a time with ten min in between ? If i put the rdo batt fuse back in im back at .74 amps. im really sorry for taking up your time. Jim

I found out which pin to jump in relay (87-30) when i jumped them & the pump came on .The car started & ran with jumper in, but would not start with the relay back in.There are 5 relays in the box with the same nos i tried switching them around but pump will not come back on i dont think they can be all bad. Can there be something in fuse box ? jim
