[QUOTE="foton, post: 140221, member: 16041"] power drains can come in different packages, so I think your best bet is to use a volt meter with a amp setting and see where the drain is. It might be easiest to pull of the hot cable at the battery and measure the drain there, when you have that go to the fuses pull one at a time and measure across the pins on the block and find the drain,once you know where it is going it will make finding it easier to pin point. I bought a boat and the guy complained that his batterys would go dead in a coupla weeks if he did not have the permantly connected battery charger plugged in, well the battery charger unplugged was the drain so I took it out ,problem gone. OBTW that drain was only .014 amps but at 24/7/365 it would kill and really ruin a good battery in short order. [/QUOTE]
