The red and orange wires coming from the positive terminal junction under the hood are using 12v. Ignition switch is not shorted. Removing fuses or ECM does nothing. When i remove the connector at the firewall drivers side it stops. Or if I remove the blue connector on the ignition switch it stops.

Good morning,

I attached a guide for you to follow. Check the procedure and let me know which fuse stops the draw.

You are allowed 50 to 75 milliamps draw.
