2013 Ford Edge - I need to ID a Molex connector beside the under dash fuse box. I have a nasty parasitic drain of around 10 amps. I was able to find the drain with a heat imaging device. the Molex connector was getting quite warm.

Correction. The Molex connector is light gray. The cable seems to go straight through the firewall along with many others.

Update on this. I was pulling a fuse at a time to see if I can find the culprit. I had my wife watching the Amp gauge by the battery. Turns out there is a click sound at the inside fuse box area like a relay when she closes the circuit with the meter. When I pulled fuse #18 the clicking stopped and the drain went down quite a bit. Here is what the fuse powers per the diagram. Third row power seats, Start button run indicator, Keypad illumination, Brake shift interlock, Powertrain control module wake-up, Anti-theft system. I did pull out the 2 small relays in the fuse box itself, but that didn't stop the clicking sound.
