How To Perform a Parasitic Draw Test
This video has been a long timing coming and is one of the most requested things I get is about batteries going dead overnight so I’m very happy to finally bring you this video about the process of finding a parasitic draw which is a small drain on a battery above 50ma when the vehicle is shut off. Once you find the right fuse(s) the next step is to trace the components involved in that circuit till you find the source of the draw, you first start with a wiring diagram to give you an idea of where to start looking and then start unplugging things in that circuit to isolate the cause, it’s quite scientific really a simple process of elimination. Here is a link to BBB’s site that you can use to look up wiring diagrams for your application.

Good luck and if you have any more questions check the database on my website and if you don’t find what you’re looking for there then post your question to my forum, here’s a link.
