Problem with dim battery and low fuel lights, even after ignition switch replaced
After I turned off the car a couple days ago and pulled the key out of the ignition, I noticed the battery and low fuel lights barely glowing. I saw multiple posts that the problem is generally the ignition switch, so I got that replaced today. Unfortunately, both lights are still barely glowing. What's the best way to troubleshoot this?
With the key out, the current draw is around 800mA. I've had the cable removed for the past few days, so I'm not sure exactly how long the battery will last without being discharged enough to not start. The battery without a key reads around 12.5V, and with the truck running is around 14.2V.
Thank you.

that's good. You've narrowed down the problem to IPC circuit. it shouldn't take too long to inspect all the wires and connectors, or just rule out cluster altogether by unplugging it.
