High current draw from batteries - alborz - 05-18-2022
Recently I get a lot of this message on the dash screen. ( High Current draw from Batteries. Check your charging system).
My batteries are 4 months old. alternator is good. Normally I used to get this message at night when my lights are on but in daytime when no light is on I got this message too. I have voltmeter that showed 14 Volts when I got this message. Any input will be appreciated.

Check your ground strap connection to the frame rail. a corroded connection will overwork the alternator and cause low voltage.
Best to remove the connections and clean them, then use some dielectric grease or some good corrosion inhibitor like NCP2.
