So while it is showing the draw-- do this-- pull one fuse at a time to determine the circuit that is doing the draw- use both the underhood fuse box and the IP fuse block-- then go from there.....

Re: 1997 gmc safari electrical problem
i have done that with no success ! however i did find the problem about 20 minutes ago! this vehicle was bought at a impound auction.
i found a box that was installed at a buy here pay here place. when the vehicle was locked out by the car company the person abandoned it and i bought it at a police auction. for some reason the car would start but the box was shorting out the electrical system. box removed, problem solved thanks for the reply though!
