Parasitic Draw Solution for 2007 Silverado IPC/DIC Circuit
This video will show you how to eliminate the parasitic draw on the IP/DIC fuse circuit in a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado LBZ Classic Diesel Truck. This solution will also work on many other GM models that have the parasitic draw problem, which, if unchecked, will deplete the battery to the point that the vehicle will no longer start.
The parasitic draw is troublesome, when the vehicle is not run for a long period of time or in the winter, when battery capacities are reduced due to temperature.
This solution avoids any permanent modification of the vehicle’s wiring. This is important for those that want to preserve the vehicle's OEM configuration and makes it easy to revert back to the original configuration in less than a minute, if one desires.
You will need some wiring skills for this job as well as a couple of tools for the installation, all of which are shown in the video. The parts needed are listed below from Amazon, as well as the cost as of June, 2024:
Car Fuse Holder Connector - Mini ATM [$4.96]
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CTRNYR1
Small Add-a-Circuit Fuse Tap, ATM Small Piggyback Blade Fuse Holder Wire Harness [$6.99]

Fishing on the Tittabawassee River Dow Dam Midland Michigan
I think that book was talking about the 1988 fiero iron Dukes, because the pan is directly behind the engine mount.
I have a 2003 GMC Sierra and had this problem the last couple years but kept going the battery route (warranty through Costco), but now they’ve changed their warrant policy. So figured it’s time to figure out what’s wrong. I bought a clamp on reader and this fuse is drawing like crazy when the truck is off. The JD1912 Car Relay Harness 12V 40A 4 Pin SPST 12AWG Harness Sockets with Color-Labeled Wires for Automotive Truck Van Motorcycle Boat (Pack of 2) came with a prewired adapter with blue, black, red, and white wires. I am not an electrical person, so can you please explain why you did not use the prewired assembly and chose to use connectors instead? Secondly, after further reading, the white wire (86) is the ground, could you explain where the 87, 85, and 30 connect to? I currently have the fuse holder connecter spliced where part of it is going to the 85 relay (black), and the other part to the connected to the 30 relay (blue). The 87 relay (red) is going to the small piggy back blade fuse holder. Please let me know if this is connected appropriately and if you have any suggestions. I appreciate it.
hi can you help me. my laptop have amd cpu. how can I solve this problem. (My mouse is logitech pebble m2 m350s)
Cool video… thank you dude…
you're welcome!
Thank you! I almost bought a new mouse!
Good that you didn't need to!
Question when you did this did your relay start to get warm? Even if the truck hasnt been ran.
No, the relay is not energized when the truck is off. It should not get warm. You can check your wiring by having someone turn the key to on, but not ‘start’. If you listen or put your finger on the case of the relay, it should click indicating that it turned on. When the person turns the key off, it should click again indicating it has changed state back to off.
@@RobertMost okay ill have to check. If it is clicking without the key on i probably have the wiring incorrect right?
@@StevenSantoro-m5h That's right, the relay should have no energy when the key is off.
@@RobertMost okay ill check it out thank you
my mouse is acting like an old school mouse ball that has dust in it, it's driving me insane. It's so subtle but soo annoying
How is the relay wired? My truck has been driving me nuts for a few years now trying to find that parasitic draw. I've been disconnecting the battery
Hi, the details on the wiring are in the video. Thanks!
Comin' in clutch with the ratchet trick! Thank you my man!
glad you liked it!
You have saved me so much frustration. Thanks for this invaluable information.
glad to help!
Great video - exactly what I was looking for but for a slightly different purpose - will use this technique to install some drop handlebars!
Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you for your comment!
Thank you so much for this video! I have the exact truck with parasitic battery drain. I ordered the parts and installed it to find out the instrument cluster is the “draw”. I am sending the cluster out to be rebuilt. I of course found this video too late. I replaced both batteries. Cleaned all terminals. Replaced alternator. Cleaned and checked all grounds. It is crazy how much this cluster has caused other random issues. The windows would roll up 2/3’s and stop. Power mirror would readjust every time I started the truck. I have replaced window controls. Replace the mirrors. Just hard to believe the instrument cluster can cause so many issues.
Hi Gary, thanks for the comment! I also went through the battery replacement etc. Just wanted to say that I hope the replacement of your cluster will fix the issue for good. An update from me, the truck is starting like a champ and I have not seen any battery issues since making the change. Best wishes!
I will update you once the instrument cluster returns from being rebuilt. I sent it to Atlanta Speedometer.
I sent the instrument cluster to Atlanta Speedometer. They replaced faulty power supply and all the stepper motors. They also installed led lights and calibrated it. Problem solved. It’s been in the truck for 4 days. No more battery drain.
@@GaryFerrell-zh9fk Glad it worked out!
You are GOD, thanks man, love ya <3
Thanks, glad it helped!!
Using a 1/2" racket wrench as adjustable leverage is perfect. Thanks.

I want to fix the handle bar on my spin bike. Is this handle bar sturdy enough to bear our weight when cycling upright?
This is the best video out there in how to do this. I shopped Amazon for my Compressor, Drier/Desiccant and related a/c parts (OEM Sanden Kit from Buy Auto Parts # 60-83466RN; $285); and Serpentine Belt (OEM specs Bando # 7PIC1745; $18). I started this morning and finished this afternoon using your video, limited tools and "Shade Tree Mechanic" skills. Drier and compressor were easily accessible from bottom of the front shroud, and belt went on smoothly from the top. I don't understand people who take apart more of the car than they need to, or who struggle with things like this, or who give up and say "have a dealer do it right." These are DIY projects, and videos like yours give excellent guidance for novices like me. It's dealer quality and after I convert my old Wards air compressor into a vacuum pump, I'll use my new Amazon double gauges to evacuate and charge this 2011 Honda CRV with 134a - (plan B was to use "rent" these tools from Advance Auto). I don't know what a shop would charge me for this, but I do know that the dealer charges over $60 for the belt alone. I'll be done with this for well under $400. What ever happened to the America I grew up in, where people were gutsy enough to fix things themselves? Thanks for helping me and all of those out there who think we can do anything if we only try.
Thank you for the comments, glad this was useful!
Thanks so much for this video! I did as others said and did the Bluetooth power management, but your bonus tip of going into the other HID power management locations (there were several) and disabling them, fixed the problem. Every wireless mouse I've ever owned has had this problem. The lag had been previously so bad I switched back to wired mice, but I just bought a logitech MX master 3S and the scroll wheel is heaven and needed to figure this out finally! :)
I did not know about that wrench and ratchet combination thank you 🙏.
Thank you! this was driving me crazy!
Thanks! I struggle with low back pain, elbow pain and sometimes wrist issues. Plus I am short so the handlebars on my stationary bike are a stretch anyway. I have been looking for some way to extend the handlebars and this is genius!
Thanks Sarah, it has helped me a lot. Hope it does for you.
Thank you so much for sharing!
Dude 1/2 inch on the 14 legendary status! Thanks
Thanks, some times you win, sometimes you win MORE! ;)
They should link to this video on the instructions manual of those mouses.. Just worth to mention as well that, on my case for example, those changes were only noticeable after I restarted the computer. Anyway, thanks a lot!!!
Hey man thank you so much! This worked with your technique.
Glad it helped!
Glad it helped!
Robert...I bought all the equipment but the handlebars on my Nordic track are too fat. Any suggestions?
Well, I’m not too familiar with those types of bars, but I do know that some handlebars have a semi-soft coating over the base metal. If yours are like that, you could possibly use a box cutter to cut out a small annular section of the coating where the bracket goes so that it may fit. Additionally, you could put the bracket over the bars and get a longer screw/bolt that tightens the bracket. The bracket doesn’t need to fully touch itself, rather, the bolt needs to simply tighten it around the handlebar . Hope that helped. :)
Just bought this mouse and thought it was laggy! Thanks for the solution!!!
You’re welcome!
Excellent instructional video. My experience was not as easy as others. My new belt was quite stiff, and had bends from being in the packaging. Things that I did differently, after first following the video instructions, without success. To gain a bit more access I removed the bracket for the power steering reservoir. Once I had the belt around all of the lower pulleys including the alternator, I placed a piece of folded cardboard (8x8 in) between the pulleys and the inner fender. Since I was working alone, I used a ratchet strap hooked to a point in front of the vehicle, to pull the wrenches on the tensioner to hold it open. I brought all of the slack to the front side of the power steering pulley, and caught the edge holding down with my hand. I then used a 19 mm socket to rotate the ps pulley counter clockwise and it pulled the belt right around the pulley!
Help! I did everything and it works great EXCEPT the handlebar extension isn't secure like yours ...it spins and spins around the original handlebars. What did I do wrong? (I've got everything as tight as it will go)
The extender that I got had small plastic inserts that are meant to do exactly what you need. Your main handlebar is evidently slightly smaller in diameter, thus resulting in the spinning you mentioned. These inserts are essentially split tubes that go on the main handlebars and thus provide the extra diameter needed to make a tight connection, when the extender is placed over them. If yours did not come with these plastic extenders, don't worry. You can also do it yourself by wrapping black electrical tape around your handlebars where the extender goes as many times as necessary to "beef up" the diameter of the main handlebar until you can get a good tight coupling of the extender. Hope that helps!
it's because your wifi router seats next to your pc/device and interfers...try moving router or just turn it off and test the lag after.
My router is far away from this in the basement lol
Yes that is worked for me as well bc bluetooth and wifi they working on same frequency am I right? 🤩
THANK YOU KIND SIR! YOUR KNOWLEDGE HAS HELPED ME SO MUCH.
Thanks for uploading this video. I have the similar issue. I have been breaking my head thinking about how to modify the handlebar for my indoor bike. Now I know what to do. Thank you so much for sharing such clever and powerful idea!
Awesome, thank you! Dell wanted to replace the logic board in my laptop. This solution corrected the issue!
Glad to hear it helped!!
Thank you so much, this fixed my pebble mouse issue
Wow! Thanks so much! That's just the solution I was looking for post back surgery!
Not for Peloton +. The handlebar extension bracket only fits up to 31mm diameter. Peloton + handlebar is 41mm.
You win! OMG this was driving me nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!
You’re welcome!
bro, you are perfect, its really annoying me this lag, my bluetooth had power managment so was very easy to solve this. thanks !
Thanks so much this worked. The only difference for me is that the option for "power management" was located under the Intel(R) Wireless Bluetooth(R) device screen. I didn't need to find the other Intel USB 3.0 device.
This fixed it for my Logitech MX Anywhere 3! It was driving me nuts, thank you.
My pleasure, always good to share information!
Excellent, just what I need. With the number of people who find the position problematic it’s surprising adjustment isn’t a feature of the bikes
I had similar issues with both Bluetooth and USB mice. ItZ amazing that vendors and tech support always suggested that the issues were with my USB ports or PC or that I purchased defective devices. 😶
Thank you for this video! I ordered all of these for my MYX Fitness bike and it came together perfectly, super easy to assemble. Way more comfortable now!
That fixed it for me to on a Logitech MX anywhere 3s connected via Bluetooth.
Would have liked for you to show the actual wiring on your switches, since they are right there.
Dude! I bought an exercise bike some time back (wayyy too long ago) and immediately had to quit it due to nerve issues in my hands. While I could pedal all day, I could only tolerate the hand/arm pain for 10 minutes of pure misery. I cut the hell out of the handlebars, flipped them around, put them on risers, gave up. I have these items in my cart as I type this and will order as soon as I finish this comment, no joke. So simple. Kudos! Side note: Total of items with tax on 2/9/24 is: $75
using a logitech MX Ergo and this worked perfectly for me. Thanks!!!
Cool!
Thank you so much! I was seriously about to throw this mouse into the wall!
Man, you’re a genious!!! THANK YOU!!
Save my life! Big thanks!!!
