    I have a 17’ as well, there is no power component in (my) tailgate at least. Just a good old fashioned mechanical key cylinder. Methinks you need a battery or you have a different parasitic electrical draw.....

    Right you are, I forgot about the camera. Best bet would be to check your owners manual

    There should be a supplied cap (terminator) for the disconnected camera cable in your glove compartment. Those were supposed to be there when new. Otherwise, there may be current leakage from that cable.
