No it will not. It only draws power when the turn signals, brakes, or running lights are turned on and there is a trailer connected to the 4-way. Otherwise there will be no power drain at all.
I attached an install video for the Curt Wiring Harness # C56093 and an FAQ on routing the power wire for you to check out also.
