I need to buy a part for my 1994 F-150. Most of the wires under the dash plug into it. It's under the dash about where the "hump" is. My electrician says it's gone bad and it's drawing the juice from my battery. He called it a light module, but there is no part by that name. He determined it by pulling the interior light fuse in the fuse box. Even when the door is closed, there is a draw from the battery. Pulling the light fuse stops the draw but he feels it's the module that the wires plug into as the culprit. Any opinions??
No, not on the hump If we were doing coordinates it would be in line with the hump but under the dash. Think as longitude and latitude. sorry for the confusion. I think we need to remove this bad boy for pictures and part numbers.
I removed the chime. Going off for everything and driving me to the insane asylum. BTW--We are hearing a "tick" somewhere under the dash. The sound reminds me of the sound you hear where you activate the turn indicator and at the same speed. The key is off but you still hear it and I think it's related to that chime.

Doesnt mean one of the door switches isnt bad, has he also checked the courtesy/cargo lights outside, on roof, to see if they rusted/melted together, they have been known to drain a battery.
I had a "tick" in my '85. It was the fuel purge solenoid and the relay had gone bad, causing it to tick the battery down to nothing. The relay was well hidden behind the trim panel in the passenger foot well. Probably different in your truck.
That could be. A little background might help. A few months ago I used the keyless entry to get in (duh). I noticed the passenger side did not respond. Removing the door panel revealed that the plastic vent that sits between the panel and the door had fallen into the mechanism that moves the rod up and down to open and close the lock. When I stuck my hand in there to remove the vent, the solenoid that moves the rod felt rough as if it had been burned. I'm just think that when the vent fell it caused the solenoid to fail and also the remote module was also affected. The power goes to the solenoid until it moves. If it does not move (jammed) it gets overheated and fails. Maybe? Perhaps?
