Fuse 103 is drawing current from battery..2 amp! When I take the 50 amp fuse out it no longer draws current out of battery. Thinking it maybe my security system but my lights in the dash are flashing which is a good indicator that my security is fine. Why then would my security system draw so much energy?

I can help you get started, that 50 amp fuse supplies voltage to the fuses in the diagram. Pull/replace fuses one at a time, when you pull fuse on problem circuit, the drain returns to normal. Then you check everything on that fuse circuit.

It is possible this will be like hunting a needle in a hay stack? I hope not. The drain with everything off shouldn't be more than 50 ma, .050 amp.

When the 50 amp fuse was removed the engine check light came on. I then put engine on code reader a P1633 keep alive power voltage too low was displayed! Can you pin point the problem there? Thanks

In my opinion that code isn't valid because the 50 amp fuse was unplugged. Check for amp draw, by remove/replace the fuses in the diagram I posted. I can help with testing but you have to do the testing.
