Angry battery drain

Have a 2000 F150 imported into Australia, converted to right hand drive.
As it is not driven everyday, it sits for about two weeks at a time and the battery goes flat.
had an auto elect. look at it and said it is drawing about .8 amps with nothing on. should be about .02, one of the main current draws is some light module to turn the inteior lights off if the door is left ajar, remove the relay and the amps drop down. Is there anyone out there that has a wiring diagram that could assist me as these vehicals are not brought into our country only the f250's

many thanks

I'd suggest you simply hook up a "Battery Tender" to give the battery a trickle charge. Just plug it in whenever you leave your truck rather than trying to get around the factory wiring.

If you want a Electrical Manual, they're available on eBay.

If at all posable try to run the truck every 2 or 3 days to keep the battery charged up.
