Problem: Power draw / loss. 2001 Nissan Frontier XE. 4 cyl. Mileage 97,000 Had the vehicle 4yrs. Without problem. Replaced battery in January 2019 (defective) and April 2019 (current). Moved from NH to VA. Now I have a power drain. My brother said it’s the battery, had it checked, it checked out good. He tested the circuitry and found a 4.5amp draw. What can it be? ---

One way to narrow it down is to start pulling fuses one at a time. When the draw drops to normal you have found the offending circuit. Then you start checking components and wiring in that circuit.
