Instrument cluster energizes when truck is off. Odometer comes alive, as does the message center, radio, and interior lights when truck is off.

[QUOTE="Evox, post: 1042016, member: 74754"] Just wrapping up loose ends for posterity. As it turns out, this was an instrument cluster short. Meaning the instrument cluster was actually causing a parasitic draw, and somewhere on the board, something was shorting out. Causing a constant 0.6 amp draw, spiking to 1.5ish amps while it glitched out with the truck ignition off. (read the referenced thread) So, not your typical instrument cluster failure. One for the books. [/QUOTE]
