Make sure terminal 1 and terminal 2 aren't flipped. When you say disconnected the regulator I'm assuming you mean the 2 wire plug on the alternator. Terminal 1 should only have power key on engine off,terminal 2 is 12v constant.

Okay yeah that's what I thought I didn't been looking for a wiring diagram for the bulkhead coming out of the firewall because my stepson bought this truck originally came with a 5.7 and somebody put a 454 in it but nothing's hooked up and I believe that alternator wire is jumped over to the feedwire and that's why it's causing the draw

Yeah that's what I thought but I need really need is the wiring diagram color for the bulkhead

Yeah thank you for the information I can replace it alternator too but it's still there but I think the wiring is wrong

 

[Ricko1966]

Is terminal 1 only hot key on engine off? And terminal 2 constant 12v hot? If so the wiring is correct.
