Drains Which Shut Off When the Battery Cable Is Disconnected

1. Repeat steps 1 through 5 of the with Voltmeter Drain Testing.
2. Without starting the engine, turn the ignition ON for a moment and then OFF If applicable, wait 1 minute for the illuminated entry lamps to turn off.
3. Connect the voltmeter and read the voltage.
4. The current reading (current drain) should be less than 0.05 amps. If it exceeds 0.05 amps after a few minutes, and if this drain did not show in previous tests, the drain is most likely caused by a malfunctioning electronic component. As in previous tests, remove the fuses in interior fuse junction panel one at a time to locate the problem circuit.
