Drains Which Shut Off W/Battery Cable Disconnected

1. Repeat Steps 1 through 6 of the voltmeter drain testing. [1][2]Test Procedure Using Multimeter
2. Without starting engine, turn ignition switch to RUN for a moment and then turn ignition switch OFF. Wait one minute for the illuminated entry lamps to turn OFF.
3. Connect the voltmeter and read the voltage.

The current reading (current drain) should be less than 0.05 amps. If it exceeds 0.05 amps after a few minutes, and if this drain did not show in previous tests, the drain is most likely caused by an electronic component. As in previous tests, remove the fuses in fuse junction panel one at a time to locate the problem circuit.
