2. Without starting the engine. turn the ignition switch to RUN for a moment and then OFF. Wait one minute for the illuminated entry lamps to turn off (if equipped).

Test Conclusion
The current reading (current drain) should be less than 0.05 amp. If current drain exceeds 0.05 amp after a few minutes. and if til is drain did not show in previous tests, the drain is most likely caused by an electronic component. Remove the fuses from the fuse junction panel one at a time to locate the circuit causing the drain.
