Drains Which Shut Off W/Battery Cable Disconnected

1. Repeat Steps 1 through 6 of the Drain Testing procedure. Drain Test
2. Without starting the engine, turn the ignition ON for a moment and then OFF. If applicable, wait one minute for the illuminated entry lamps to turn off.
3. Read the current from the 73 Digital Multimeter.

Test Conclusion
The current reading (current drain) should be less than 0.05 amp. If it exceeds 0.05 amp 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 the interior fuse junction panel one at a time to locate the problem circuit.
