Hey all… I am at my wits end trying to figure out this issue.So any help is greatly appreciated.

I have a 2018 Nissan Frontier with 62000 miles. Over the past few months I have had to constantly jump start my truck in the morning after leaving it over night.

I checked the battery (new), alternator, and starter(new). The battery reads 12.6v. When I turn my key to the position 2, the voltage drops to around 12.1, when I then turned on the lights the voltage dropped to 11.85.

So my thinking it’s something that is getting power whenever the key is in position 2.

At first I thought it was the battery. I had the battery tested and it was good, just incase I bought a second battery last weekend. Still the same issue.

I was told that the starter was pulling to many amps and draining the battery when trying to start. I bought a new starter over the weekend and installed it on Saturday night. No change, issue is still there.

I am not sure where to go from here.
