'03 tb fuse for battery

[claytonduk]

hello, I'm having issues with my instrument cluster possibly causing my battery to go dead in about 24hrs. Is there a fuse to take out that will disconnect the battery so I dont have to disconnect the negative terminal? thanks for any help!

There is no one fuse to do that, there is a fuse for the cluster in the box under the rear seat.

I ended up taking out the 24 fuse in the engine compartment fuse box and the battery doesnt go dead. I tested the orange and red wires on the plug for the instrumant cluster and both had 12V. the grounds also tested good(black and black/white). Does anyone know how to test the male receptacle on the instrument cluster, if there is a way? thanks

Just 12 volts to it does not tell you if it is pulling amps or justbhas voltage to it.
You need to get a amp draw meter and test the orang wire for pulling amps key off.
post back how many amps is pulling.
Then unplug dash cluster and see how many amps it is pulling.
There may be something else tied on/shorted to that fuse circuit.
