Use a test light that is equipped with an incandescent bulb, not an LED. For our purposes, a cheap light will work as well as an expensive one. The important thing is that it has an incandescent bulb NOT AN LED. A DVM will work for this test, but it is more complicated to use. Due to your inexperience with electrical issues, I think a test light will work better. If you don't have a test light, here's a link to various models.

The easiest way to conduct this test: Disconnect either battery cable from the battery. Connect the test light between the cable and the battery post. plug in the headlight switch but don't turn it on. make sure EVERYTHING electrical is turned off. If you have a drain, the test light wil glow. The brighter the glow, the heavier the drain. If the test light is glowing (no matter how bright), one at a time start removing fuses. Pull a fuse and if the test light continues to glow, move on to the next fuse. When you remove a fuse that causes the test light to go out, that's the circuit that produces the drain.

Areas to pay special attention. Dome light, glove compartment light, bad, or turned on dome light switches, sound systems, horn relay, relays that are not stock (factory installed).
