OK, being an electronics guy I should be able to figure this out, but I admit, I am stumped.
I was having a problem with dead battery a lot. I figured there was something shorted to ground. I removed the positive battery terminal and there is a slight current draw according to my cheapo meter. Well of course my CD player memory will cause that. So I disconnect it, still have a draw. Disconnect the Jacobs energy pack which also has a memory I think, still have a draw. My meter says. .01 amps. So I pull all the fuses. Now there is absolutely nothing that should draw current while key is off. When I connect the meter I get a little "sparky" and it reads between ".01-.00". WTF! Little "sparky" tells me something is drawing current. But what?
Any advise out there?
Thanks,
