removed neg batt cable, placed test light between neg batt cable and neg post on batt it lights up and pulses. bright to dim etc. found 10 volt 2 amp draw. pulled fuses one at a time till light went out , fuse #9 traced schematic . fuse f 9 feeds a. dome light b. optional fuel transfer pump. its a blu/red ends there. , after phisining for about four hrs , unplugged radio. light goes out SO YES THIS IS MY DRAW., PROBLEM BEING IS radio wirining is not shown on schematics, so yea I can A. wire it in on a switch pwr circuit. but I will lose radio memory. b replace radio and cross fingers see if if radio may be bad. but it does work, but I cant find part # for radio anywhere, can find radio installation kit but it does not include radio. go figure. yea easy fix on batt draw, but how to get back to factory standerds with options purchased. anybody been here. I cant belive im the first on thes e large doosans . with no support.

UPDATE. S/N BREAK. 2 S/N offered ..... both list radio installition kit. going from one plug into back of rado to a split harness offering two plugs to back of radio. yet neither offer a part # for radio. no part # in bass. so this it where it lays, a cust purchasded a E85 EXV. BATT GOES DEAD IN TWO DAYS. draw is comining from radio. 10 volts 2 amp draw, no listening for part # for radio, no help from factory.DO NOT KNOW HOW TO PROCEED, yea I can make it work. but make it work right? all I know is if I spent a hundred grand on on a piece of machinery. one would expect that all. options work. and if they don't dealer should be able to rectify. is this an assumption or an expectation?

That is quite a power drain from a radio, even more so when it's not even on.

close this case. disconnected radio, installed new batt. still has a minor draw to keep computer alive, yea I would not let it sit for months. but losing a a 10 volt 2 amp draw. has got to be a step in the right direction. she has sat in twenty degree temps for two weeks and started today did not like it. three glow count downs, but she she hit and fired..not what I waslooking for but she she hit and and fired..

OH YEA id still like to bitch about the fact that the factory schematics. do not include radio wirining. found it by pullining fuses one at at a time. only to find that fuse only powered optinional fuel transfer pump etc. ALL MY TOOLS WORK . if they don't I replace or repair.

BATT DRAW WAS NOT ISSUE> radio disconnect fixed that.
