Re: Battery draining

great advice LG.
theoretically, the mm between the battery post and the battery cable should read zero volts or amps with the key off unless there is a connection somewhere in the system to complete the circuit. a test like LG advised to do with the test light would help find the culprit with less leg work so you wouldn't have to pull a fuse and then get up to see the MM. this works as long as the "draw" has enough of a connection to light the tester bulb and you can also see the tester from the work area. I have used a buzzer for the same thing but it is annoying.
I think I asked before, but do you have a gauge package connected? is it possibly getting power with the key off?
