Last video had same issues too

The box you were messing with is an aftermarket steering wheel control module. It converts the cars data signal into data the radio understands to control the radio. To confirm the module is the problem, you have to hit the controls on the steering wheel and see if they control the radio. If they don’t, the unit isn’t programmed and will continue to have this draw until programmed because it will continue to loop for connectivity. I prefer IDataLink Maestro, or on a budget, Axxess modules. When the car died, for whatever reason the first time, it could have reset the module. Depending on that units programming feature, it could be stuck in loop from loss of accessory and constant. By the way, radio uses Accessory, not Ignition for the DIY people. Your radio should shut off during engine crank cycle unless stated otherwise by the manufacturer. Great T-Shoot though Ivan. Just something for your aftermarket documents books.

As soon as I saw the Scosche logo on that box, I knew it was going to be the problem XD. Sweet diag, never came across a radio converter with that behavior before! Tell the customer to go with Idatastart and idatalink for radio to vehicle adapters. Best in the industry if they have that issue again.

Always love these parasitic draw cases. Great thought process, leading to the final diagnosis. Lots of interesting cases with some module not letting the bus / network go to sleep.

I'm a maintenance technician at a huge glass/solar glass coating facility, have to have excellent troubleshooting skills on my job, thats why i love your videos, all about the troubleshooting.

Hello Ivan good video. Once again demonstrating that in today's electronic world, if you do not have a good grounding in electronics and several thousands of dollars of diagnostic equipment, the chances of tracking down the actual bad component is doubtful. Keep up the good work and teaching us old timers where and what to look for in the more modern electronically controlled vehicles.

Another case of the dreaded battery drain. Cast your bets: Heads, it's an infotainment unit, tails, it's an aftermarket gizmo. Today's winner: an aftermarket infotainment unit! Everyone's a winner!

These aftermarket items can be a real pain when diagnosing these problems. If you find a charger plugged in to the power port but no phone or other device at the end, unplug that charger. They draw power even without the device to be charged. Good work Ivan.

This was around 400ma of draw for me thanks for sharing.

I had one of these jeeps in the shop a couple of months ago with an aftermarket can bus adapter for the radio causing a draw as well. Those things seem to fail all of the time and it was the same exact box that was in the keep you’re working on. I’d rather just change the cigarette lighter to accessory power only and get the ignition on power for the radio from there eliminating that stupid adapter that is a common failure point. I don’t like adding any sort of additional components that increase the chance of a failure. Chryslers have enough battery draw issues without adding the possibility of another one. 😂

Recently I’ve been using a thermal camera to find parasitic draw issues. You can see what’s staying hot after leaving it off for a while. It’s refreshing to see someone performing proper diag👍

Thanks BestBuy and Pioneer for costing this customer at least a diagnostic fee and whatever else. Early on in the video I was yelling in my head "aftermarket radio". But I understand the diag that you did

Ivan, I don't think your diagnosis is complete until you take that sweet ride out for a test drive just to make sure all of the air is flowing correctly through the passenger compartment. Great job explaining in detail the process you went through tracing this draw problem through to the problem in the little black box. Thanks for Sharing!

You are one excellent tech. The sherlock holmes of milli amp leaks no doubt. Prime is the gratitude in driving a 98 truck with no electrical failure issues cause it's so low tech. My engine even faces forward!

Can you imagine having taken the Jeep back to Best Buy with "my battery goes dead now that the radio was installed" and having them do this diagnosis? Maybe they would find the issue but my guess is all they would do is a visual. As tedious as it is with these parasitic draws, finding and then fix, I find them interesting but not all vehicles have the easy access as this Wrangler does. I can imagine a fully loaded mini van or a Ford Platinum series vehicle being a really involved job in getting to the modules they are filled with plus the routing of the wiring etc.

For parasitic draw tests using the mV measurement across fuse technique, I would recommend a higher resolution DMM like the Fluke 287, which has a resolution of 0.001 mV on the 50.000 mV range. This is a meter I originally purchased for my general purpose electronic test bench, but I have been using it for auto electrical troubleshooting because of the excellent features. One being the high resolution on the 50.000 mV range which is perfect for across fuse parasitic current draw measurement. Another nice feature is the relative Ohms to null out lead resistance. It should be noted that if you disconnect the battery (power down) to make a series parasitic current measurement without maintaining continuity the parasitic draw may go away never to return. Also, if you disconnect power, you will have to wait until the vehicle is asleep again before troubleshooting parasitic draw. With a test lead technique you can maintain vehicle power while you introduce the ammeter (make before break). However, the biggest risk to using a series ammeter on a low scale is the parasitic draw testing my require going key on, then key off, which in this case, the vehicle can draw several amps which could blow the fuse in the meter on the low current range (440mA fuse on the 400mA range for example). So for key on you have to use the higher amp scale which is usually protected with a 10A fuse. If you pull a fuse box fuse to see if the parasitic draw goes away, when you reinstall the fuse you may have to wait for modules to go to sleep to continue troubleshooting, which can take up to 35 minutes. An alternate approach, which requires getting to the wire feeds from the fuse box, is to use a sensitive DC current clamp meter like the B&K 316 (Good resolution and small jaws) to measure individual circuit current draw rather than pull a fuse. This way you do not have to wait for the modules to go to sleep. So my approach is to measure wire currents and not disconnect power until I have narrowed down the problem to its source, then I will disconnect power. My approach to parasitic draw tests is to first measure the magnitude of the parasitic draw with a clamp meter if possible. If the draw is high like in the video, 800mA (which is enough for fuse mV testing) I would then put the vehicle on life support using a current limited DC linear PS with a reverse current protection diode. This set up is to put a slight charge on the battery (which is usually in bad shape because of the no crank), keep a regulated reference voltage on the vehicle like 13V (this is handy in measuring voltage drops relative to a known set supply voltage), and allow lengthy troubleshooting without the battery going dead. Some difficult parasitic draw problems can take hours to troubleshoot, and if you charge while troubleshooting you can prep the vehicle faster. I should mention that the "life-support" method is the only real easy method to charge the battery from the under hood jump start posts when the battery is buried in the trunk or under a seat. I have a huge silicon power diode which was originally designed (about 10 years ago with spare parts, I would like to upgrade to SiC diodes in parallel with no fan) for 20 Amp continuous so it has its own 120VAC temperature controlled cooling fan on a heatsink. The reverse current blocking DC power supply is very handy because it is working with the battery in case a large load, like a cooling fan is energized, the battery supplies the momentary surge current and the linear supply steady state current.

Ur audio had a draw in the beginning, then fixed itself, u killed two birds with one stone without knowing it, thanks for posting

Hi Ivan, My sister had a 2001 Grand Cherokee bought used with one year warranty. The transmission failed and they replaced it with one that had similar mileage. It developed a high battery drain of almost 1.5A after the replacement that would drain the battery in a couple of days. It was one of the circuits on a 50A maxi fuse, but could not find the cause. I installed one of those wireless battery cutoff switches to save the battery. It worked fine until one day the right rear trailing arm broke from the chassis due to extreme rust. Was not repairable. My sister sold it for scrap. Stay safe.

Hey Ivan you can prevent the meter from powering off automatically by holding select when you switch it on

A good, logical diagnosis , Ivan....very interesting.

Nice work! Interesting radio setup... I figured something goofy was going on when you had the key out initially and that radio was still alive. Interesting how it's now the can bus on some vehicles now waking up the radio instead of a dedicated wire. Definitely the trend of the industry.... Eliminate wires where possible and add yet another module to handle it! 😆

Truly interesting diagnosis, that may help me some day. I switched the radio in my 2010 Chevy HHR Panel Van, and it turns out the clicking noise for the turn signal actually came from the stock radio's left speaker. Thankfully, the site from which I purchased the radio suggested a converter box with a built-in speaker that intercepts the signal (CAN bus?) commanding the click and makes the sound based on turn signal operation! In addition, it energizes a relay to power the aftermarket radio. I don't know about other cars, but the Chevy radio stored the VIN number of the car and allowed it to turn on when it got matching data from the bus. The module I bought with the radio programs itself on first power-up to get around the VIN number crap and make it work in my car. Man, I HATE this kind of complexity! What Chevy wants is to charge you big bucks to program the VIN into an OEM radio. I am SO thankful I could find a module to get around that business, and I just hope I have the smarts to troubleshoot it if the module fails. Then, I hope I'm smart enough and lucky enough to find and buy another compatible replacement!

As you discovered, the factory radio is the sound card in ComputerCars. The VIN matching was intended to be an anti-theft feature. A stolen radio wouldn't work in a new car. (But then a junkyard radio wouldn't work either). It's not hard to open the radio and reprogram the device that stores the VIN. If blanked out, the radio will do the same thing - learn from the car on first power up. I learned all this by putting a 2015 factory radio into my 2013 car so I can get "bendy" lines on the backup camera.

Just like Eric and Ivan, I *hate* aftermarket shit. I just had a Town and Country with intermittent turn signals. Turns out the receiver for the aftermarket remote start was physically resting on the blinker relay and causing poor connectivity at one of the pins.

Your a great teacher. I start to understand the more I watch.

When I had a PT Cruiser I just wired my aftermarket radio's ignition sense wire to the power window switch. On my radio it was just a sense wire and didn't draw any amperage. I always heard those adapter modules crap out after a couple years.

I'm dealing with a power draw issue for the first time now and this was very helpful to watch. Seems the issue is only coming from my m13 and j13 iod fuses. Hopefully I can find the issue soon.

I don’t think my am/fm radio with a cassette player will ever have that problem. 😂😂

I have a Fiat Stilo (european version) and it also uses the CAN signals to wake up the radio. There is no ignition power feed. However the radio functions autonomically of the rest of the vehicle, at least for some part. You can turn it on when the car is off and key is out of the ignition, it will display "20 minutes mode" which means it will shut down automatically in 20 minutes. Of course the radio wakes up the interior CAN, making the cluster go awake for a brief moment - the backlight for the display turn on for few seconds and it shows the time and mileage (same thing happens when you open or shut a door). You can choose in the settings whether the radio should be turned on and off automatically with ignition on/off or should you do that manually if you want. The guy who owned the vehicle before me had an aftermarket radio in there and I found he connected into one of the wires behind the dash with ignition power. Wonder if that Pioneer could be connected in a similiar way, making the ignition power or accessory power wake it up straight away. Then you wouldn't need that magic box at all.

I really enjoy these types of repairs.

The dude/ette who created the 'angry jeep' headlight thing... they must be living on a beach in Rio de Janeiro by now. It's rare to see a Jeep that doesn't have one up here in NH. Another fun video to watch btw. Thank you.

What I did was run both radio wires to ignition source and eliminate the constant 12v but the radio won't have any memory but the battery will stay alive.

Your pocket multimeter has seen better days brother. 😂 Thanks for the great video.

Nicely done. I was thinking just do away with the stupid box and wire the radio power directly but as pointed out in the comments the box allows the steering wheel controls to function. It unfortunate that the engineers for vehicles are running everything on a can bus when any module can screw you up good. Also I learned a few things from your diagnostics. Great video.

I got confused when you said radio. So I googled it. Interesting. Why would such an ancient device be in this vehicle I wondered. Then I pondered the doors? and immediately thought of some circus ride and their "safety" bars, which you soon realize don't make you feel safe at all when you're at the top. And then you start contemplating how you will die and whether it will be really painful.

Awesome diagnostic Ivan! Your process of elimination lead you directly to the problem. But does not answer the cause. This video is a prime example on how aftermarket audio systems sometimes won't play nice with the vehicles networking systems. And in this case, I suspect that since the Jeep's door switches have been eliminated, that's why the radio won't turn off. A lot of newer vehicles have a feature that will keep the radio on, even after you turn off the ignition and remove the key. The radio will finally turn off "after you open the door". But since the door switches are removed, this problem will most likely continue until that feature is by-passed.

You would think with all the power control electronics being contained within the tipm that if it sensed the ignition was off for let's say 10 minutes and things were still awake it would just kill power to everything to save the battery!! The tipm would just need to monitor total current draw and have a line of code written into it that if it's over say 50 milliamps for more than 10 minutes with the ignition off it just kills power to everything. You could also do my favorite fix which is just install a thousand amp battery disconnect switch somewhere easily accessible and be done with it 🤣🤣🤣

The CANBUS is used for other things as well - such as having the factory radio be the sound card for the car (chimes, clicks, etc.) It also allows the factory radio to be the keyboard/screen for controlling the various options in the car. Once you have the CANBUS for that, there's no need for a separate power wire to control on/off since all that information is on the bus.

Most vehicles, 50mA or less is perfectly acceptable. Some vehicles will have 100mA of parasitic draw which is "normal" off the lot. You would need to check service info for the acceptable parasitic draw. Some will be under 10mA but others can be much higher.
