Bought a $300 thermal camera for my phone to chase down a phantom electrical draw.

Turns out the heated seat module on a 2018 F-150 was staying hot even with the truck off, pulling the battery down overnight. Has anyone else had a thermal camera save their bacon on a tough electrical problem?

Staying hot even with the truck off" sounds bad, but is it really killing the battery that fast?

My thermal cam mostly finds warm beer.
