ktmlew Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Anyone seen any of these? Disconnect battery cable to CJB and short is gone. So that leaves 90% of the trucks electrical system thaat could be the problem. These having issues with water intrusion? CJB is apparently a smart module like Mopars TIPM? Not sure where to start other than to start pulling fuses and relays one at a time. But some of the main relays are part of the CJB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktmlew Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 When short is present headlights come on and can not turn them off. Can not disconnect main power wire to CJB. Or at least is so tight i suspect will break terminal loose. I disconnected 6 terminal connectors from CJB and reconnected one at a time. No short for about 2 minutes.

Matt Saunoras Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I just got totally beat up by a bad battery on a similar model year F-150. Cust insisted it was a Parasitic draw, we said no it's a battery. He brings it back a month later, claims the battery was replaced and it's still dying overnight. He basically lied to us about the replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktmlew Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 Replaced battery. Now we wait. I think that's all that was wrong. I'm an asshole about battery condition. Check them every time I raise a hood. This appears to be brand new. Nope. Will attach picture later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
