Here's how I go about it for parasitic draw - you should give it a try, it's not too bad.

You accidentally created this post in the `cars for sale` forum instead of the GRM general though. Maybe message a moderator and they'll move it for you.

Good luck!

I had an issue on my Yukon where my lighted vanity mirrors weren't shutting off, draining the battery.  Basically one side of the hinge on the mirror cover broke, and it was no longer depressing the off switch.

But since it’s in the for sale section I guess we can start bidding on it anyway

That was my first thought.

Put an amp clamp on the positive from the battery and start pulling fuses one by one until you don't see a draw.
