HID relay draining battery???
Is is possible for light relays to drain a battery. I have HIDs in the headlights, another set in the fogs, and a relay to my KC lights. The truck does set for extended periods of time without being started. 2008 SCrew.

Easy way to check this is to remove the HID power from the truck, charge the battery, and see if the battery dies.
If the truck holds a charge, then add them back in 1 at a time, and see which one causes the problem. This is going to be a case of removing what you installed to see what is up. If you did not have this problem before the modification, then I woudl guess that one of them is the cause.
