Battery keeps dying (probably parasitic drain)

Yes, both front and rear stereo amps are disconnected..

there are 3 amps, not 2. 2 in the rear and one under the deck. As for the door theft, I am pretty sure you can see and follow the wiring that goes to it. Trace it and there should be some place to disconnect it. It is possible that it is stuck and because of that the car thinks the door is open. You can also just try spraying some wd40 in the door latch and see if opening/closing it a few times cleans the contacts.

Hi TTOCS, thanks for your quick reply. Yes, both front and rear stereo amps are disconnected. Checked door chime and instrument cluster are good. Will remove door panels next. How do I check the anti-theft-door open? Running out of ideas.

Parasitic drain identified. Cause was the anti theft module located in the truck, drivers side. Once unplugged, drain went from 76mA to 5mA. Now have to decide if I need to buy another module, and program it so that my remote door lock fob will work.

I knew those things drew a little bit of current to monitor door trigger switches, etc. I had no idea they siphon off that much.
