Default Electrical Drain

Hey everyone, I am new to the Jeep world with my 2001 XJ and I love it so far but the thing is to b a more reliable to the point I can start to mod and use my Jeep for trails and stuff I need to figure out this electrical problem I have. I am good mechanically but electrically I am not so that is why I am reaching out for noob stuff to check. I have replaced the battery cables and everything with the kit from Jeepcables and then got an aftermarket battery holder. So apart from those and checking for fuses I am at a loss for what to do so any input would be great. TIA!

You'd be surprised at how often it turns out to the the glovebox light staying on.

Thanks for the video! And I’ll be sure to check out the glove box light. While I was looking around I noticed this tucked away does anyone happen to know where it mounts? Thanks.

Looks like the cruise control servo.

Found a very old thread. Post #6 shows it mounted. https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/01-...control-43607/

I don't think so.
Since that is a '01 it would be CA Emissions.
That is by the AC drier so I think that is the bracket that might hold the purge solenoid thing.
And guessing the connector is for it.

I stand corrected. Orientation threw me off. This thing, then? Leak Detection Pump. Hard to find a good image of this thing installed.

No I stand corrected. LOL.
Leak Detection Pump. That is what I meant.
All XJ's have the purges solenoid thing but only CA Emissions XJ's have the Leak Detection Pump to the best of my knowledge.
