electrical short

can anyone tell me what the RAP circuit is for my 1998 chevy blazer. there's a short in that circuit but I don't know where to look? need help as the battery drains down overnight and I gotta charge it again in the morning.

Are you talking about the remote power ports down on the floor (I assume you have them like my 99 )?

How do you know there's a short in your RAP circuit ?

Do you have aux equipment installed in your blazer ?

Done anything recently i.e. adding things, working under the dash etc ?

Hey Tony, thanks for the reply.. I checked the RAP circuit and its grounding out because the whole ground system on my blazer shows voltage. But when I remove the 50A fuse there's no voltage on the vehicle ground. I did not add any new aux stuff and what do you mean about "remote power ports on the floor"? Thanks again, waiting for your reply

RAP is the Retained Accessory Power circuit. That is the circuit that supplies power to your accessories for ten minutes after the key is turned off and no doors are opened.
