What's the best procedure for testing that? Turn off all loads. Put your ammeter in series between the negative battery terminal and the battery ground wire. Use the 10 amp range. Observe the amount of current flowing. If it's a few milliamps that's normal (clock, for one); but we're expecting more. Now start removing fuses one at a time and watch the meter. When the excess current changes, you've found a circuit with a working load on it. Probably only one such circuit, but as soon as I say that it will turn out to be two. Once you've found the circuit, go to Bentley to identify what devices are on it and start disconnecting... Yours, David
