Default BAP current draw?

im just wondering if the BAP has any current draw at standby (not activated under boost situation).

It sounds like it shouldnt, but if it has even 1% draw ill take off since im not using it.

IdeaS?

Yes BAP has some idle current draw... electronics have to monitor hobbs switch and so on.

Did you replace the fuel pump fuse from a 20A to a 30A? It'll be in the fuse box in the engine bay. You should have a spare 30A, so just do the swap. This should have been done upon installing the BAP.

30A fuse in the box and a 30A fuse inline to the BAP. The inline fuse is the one that got smoked.

I would need to look. Is there a range depending on amps needed for fuel consumption?

I blew my BAP inline fuse awhile back too. It was only a 20A fuse though. I replaced the inline fuse with a 30A but left the stock 20A fuse under the hood. Haven't had any problems since. I would check the way the BAP is spliced into the stock wiring under the drivers rear wheel well. You definately want to solder those connections. Solderless butt connectors do not work well.
