Default Re: Dead battery, again ... locating parasitic draw

Quit screwin' around! You're always screwin' around!

IT's fairly easy to track down a draw. Go to any good auto electric-shop and have them put a field ammeter on your primary battery cable. It has a kind of ring clamp which fits around the cable without even disconnecting or interrupting it. If there is a draw when the vehicle is off it will show up. That will quell the dealer's argument that the problem is with your yellow top (which I doubt). Then they just trace your wiring as it branches off the primary through the fusebox and downstream from there, locating the offending lead. DONE!
