2005 fx 4x4 electrical short
Hello,
I am new here so i apologize if this is in the wrong spot. I am hoping someone can pinpoint this for me. This is how the problem started i was wiring up a new trailer plug and i touched a hot tailight wire to a ground, No biggie popped a fuse. Not with my luck no bad fuse now it will drain my battery in minutes, No reverse lights , no tail lights, no brake lights.The security box behind the rear seat makes an weird noise, the gauges on the panel quiver, and can hear the throttle body clicking.If i un hook the negative wire from the battery and do a draw test it shows its drawing 11 volts, I tried unhooking the main wire from battery to fuse panel. still a 11 volt draw. If i unhook the Alt. wire at the battery. 11 volt draw If i unhook the main wire and alt. wire both at same time then there is no draw of course. something got shorted and i havent a clue where to begin on this, Not sure why a fuse didnt pop like it was intended to do.

I checked all the relays and the fuses.Installed a new fuse box, down at the kick panel. Tried unplugging lights t the "Y" wiring in the back, nothing changed at all. I do appreciate your feedback.
