[QUOTE="TomG, post: 20426, member: 6412"] This might sound crazy but it could be the rear windshield wiper. I ran across that information when I was trying to figure out why there was so much current draw when we were towing our 2020 behind our motorhome. A company named RVI makes a battery maintainer/charger to keep batteries charged while the vehicle is being towed. They had a note on their website that said it wasn't compatible with 2019 and newer equinoxs'. I contacted their customer service and was told that the rear wiper draws 5 amps even when the wiper isn't running. They said the charge wire coming from our motorhome wouldn't have enough power to keep the battery up. I put a fuse switch in place of the #48 fuse ( I think that was the one) where I could disable the rear wiper while we are towing. If you are looking for things to try try pulling the fuse for the rear wiper. [/QUOTE]
