What battery maintainer are you guys running? Are they a direct install? So I have to do anything special with the BMS for them? Do you typically plug in every end of day?

Also..... I want to thank everyone on this!! I have been beyond stressed I had another parasitic draw and I don't think my blood pressure could handle that experience again!!!!!

Does the "P" for park light up on the dash? It's common in 12th gen f150s to have the parking plunger sensor in the shifter go bad and the truck won't think it's in park which leaves the dash lights on draining the battery.

Wire to my rear driver's door was broken when I got my truck.
I think it was for the power lock, but found that REAL common too when I searched cause.

Should the P light up when you open the door? I am noticing sometimes when I go to get in it's orange and sometimes it's not......

Here is something I noticed.....

Got in the truck and the "P" was not orange. I closed my door and it light up.
