You're asking a question without an answer, other than to make measurements and *find out* where the trouble is. If you (she) have no ammeter, remove one fuse and see if it stops the drain. If not, try the next fuse. And so on. Once you know which circuit is causing the trouble, you can if necessary ask the list for more info as to what devices are served by that circuit. Of course it will take a month... You'll find out a great deal faster by putting an ammeter between battery positive terminal and the battery lead, measuring the drain with everything turned off, then removing fuses until the drain stops...if you can't get an ammeter you might find that a *small* 12 test light will light up if placed the same as the ammeter -- but this is chancy because the light has to draw much less current than the false drain or the test won't work. david At 07:31 PM 1/9/2001, James Lipman wrote: >two days.
