Will this cause a constant drain on the battery?

Check the switch/cable isn't getting warm as well. P38s aren't exactly fireproof!

Shouldn't do, the Fuse 11 position I think is only powered with the ignition on...to set Transfer Neutral, you have to place fuse, then turn the ignition to position 2 and the Motor should drive to neutral and stop, then turn ignition off and the motor sits there in neutral.

To regain Drive, remove fuse, then ignition on and the motor will go to High ratio once again!

No power with ignition off as far as I know - but going to check RAVE now just incase!

The transfer goes to the desired position and stops. Ignition off the ECU is dead so there should be no drain.

Might actually save it, they usually seize from lack of use

Presumably solvable by selecting low range occasionally? Or is it a separate motor?

Yeah switching to low range every now and then will keep it good. Only one motor, the fuse just puts it into a certain position.

Yes, select low range to excercise the motor when you have time to fix it if it doesn't work

Oh yea lol
Ill take my chances i think its better letting everyone else know of a easy kill switch that takes litraly 2mins to fit
Plus if anyone comes that knows were the kill switch is they still have to get the keys and its not like i leave them on the door step
And my 10month old malamute aint small.... or freindly!!!
