i have a power drain problem i cannot pin point the doors lock and unlock themself nothing in the dash works
just the temperature recently the speed gauge started working again and under the dash there is a clicking sound,
like something turning off and on ive pulled all fuses non main fuses and in the morning battery is still dead, only way to keep it from draining is to pull the battery fuse it has been really annoying me greatly cause its ruining my battery ive checked my grounds they seem to be fine, and pulling fuses don’t work with the milliamp tester cause doesn’t
matter what fuses i pull . some advice or guidance in the right direction would be nice id like to be able to wake and just go every morning without boosting and worrying about this.

did that, every fuse i pulled makes the meter change. i went through every fuse and all they do is drop my meter or do nothing at all, the problem is else where i think i just dunno where.
If every fuse you pull changes the draw on the battery you are either doing the test wrong, Have recently had a major meltdown in the fuse panel or have a bad ground strap. Start by making sure everything is off in the vehicle and take the bulb out of the under hood fixture and keep the keys in your pocket. Hook the tester up to the battery so the contacts stay connected and set it to show how much draw there is on the battery. Watch the screen for 30 – 45 seconds so it has time to shut down the computer etc… If you see a really high amp draw check the starter and other high load parts. If the draw is rather low begin pulling fuses slowly and watch for the load to drop. When the load drops to less than .5 amp you have found the circuit that is causing your problem. Next you have to follow the wiring for everything on that circuit to determine what is wrong. Hope this helps.
