Re: need a little help... thank you

It would help to get a true reading of this draw......

Make sure everything is off, key out of ignition, underhood light not on.....

Remove the BAT ground cable from battery.......take a jumper, and jumper the neg bat terminal(threading a bolt into the battery makes this easier to attach) to the neg battery cable......let sit for about 10 minutes......this gives all the modules time to go to sleep.....now hook up your amp meter in parallel with that jumper....now remove the jumper leaving the amp meter connected.....now you have a true reading......what is the draw? It is suppose to be 0.025 to 0.035 Amps......is it higher? If it isn't, the problem is not a draw.....
