Subject:Testing for power draw on battery?
From:Brian Wasson
Date:Sun, 3 Apr 2005 23:48:56 -0400

Hi all,

I've noticed that while my van sits unused something is drawing my
battery down over the course of a few weeks, and I'd like to find what
the problem is. I do have a multimeter, but am unsure about how to go
about searching for a rogue circuit. I followed the recent thread about
checking things at the fuse box, but don't really fully understand what
I'm looking for. How does one test a circuit at the fuse panel to see
if there is a current draw even when the van is off?

Any suggestions/help would be most appreciated!
