Hello all,

Electrical is really not my thing but like everything else on these builds, I am trying to learn as I go. As of recent, I have been able to fire up my LSA swap and having some trouble with a parasitic draw. The only culprit I see creating a draw while the car is off is the Digital Guard Dawg Push-to-Start system that came with the car. The battery seems to lose its power after a hour or so and gives me trouble starting unless I disengage the battery cut-off switch. Even then, it seems like when I do engage the power back into the vehicle, the draw from the push-to-start and ecm are pretty heavy on the battery that it does not instantly start the car up.

Anybody on here have any experience or have any suggestions to help me with this issue?

My first guess would be that something got connected to constant battery power when it should have been connected to switched ignition power. Switched ignition wires are pink in your car harness.
