L-body Slow Draw

[dart165]

Hey guys this might be a dumb question but i have 2 glh-t's and they both have slow battery draws that are causing them to die after a few day of not run.

Whats the easiest way to track down the source of a draw?

Disconnect the - battery cable and connect a digital ampmeter on a fused 10 amp scale between the - cable and - battery post, read the draw with all accesories off and all doors closed. You are looking for a max of 30 milliamps (.0030).
If the draw is higher than that you start by disconnecting any aftermarket accessories, then remove fuses 1 at a time until you isolate the circuit that is creating the excessive draw, after that you will need to start disconnecting items like the alternator and controllers.
There is no easy way or shortcuts to locate parasitic draw concerns.

Digital Multi-Meter. Volts, Ohms, Amps.
Be sure it has a fused 10 amp scale.
Sears is probably your best bet but if you want to research online harborfrieght.com has a lot of tools at a very good price.I have bought numerous tools there and they are identical to the name brand.
A Digital Multi-Meter is a must for every tool box.
