Please help

Hello everyone I just got a 2015 f150 lariat last month and I’m having battery drain issues. I’ve replaced the battery twice now. Now the sunroof and windows and rear window has no power. Please help me fix this it’s driving me absolute crazy. Thanks everyone

Have you tested all of the relays? There are YouTube videos on tracking down parasitic drains on electrical systems.

Welcome to FTE Hardcorefx4,

Your profile doesn’t say where you’re from. Any chance your truck was once flooded or in a hurricane?

Have you by chance added any aftermarket or knock off electrical accessories?

How are you testing for drain?

If you can get your hands on a DC ammeter with a clamp, charge up your battery with the negative lead disconnected. Re-connect it, and put the ammeter clamp on the positive lead. The current should be well under an amp; probably just a couple hundred milliamps. The exact drain is somewhat subjective, but that will get you in the ballpark. If it is over an amp, then I would start pulling fuses until you find the culprit.
