Re: Unexplained battery drains

Assume your alternator is charging correctly...not too low and not too high, in 13.6-14.2 V range? 100MA to 150MA draw is considered a bit high by some but should take a few days to kill a decent battery. Suggest leaving the multimeter leads connected to the battery for at least 30 minutes and seeing what the draw is. I have in the past with a Dino Fiat pulled all the fuses to see if the draw dissappears and than added a couple back at a time to see what changes if anything. Yes, very time consuming. If with all the interior/engine compartment, aftermarket fuses out, there is still a significant draw, this points toward the wiring harness which can be near impossible (at least for me) to localize the problem.
