Parasitic Current Drain, Suggestions Needed

[CarNewbie9]

IME it seems like hood open doesn't meaningfully alter the car's sleep power, just prevents arming of the security device. If you can reproduce your parasitic load with it open, that makes it easier by far since you can access the under hood fuse box.

I would only worry about closing the hood if your parasitic load won't occur with the hood open after a long enough rest period.

Thank you, really appreciate the insight! I will try the parasitic draw test without latching the hood and see what I find.
