I drained my car battery Videos

The famous ScannerDanner uses this method frequently for identifying parasitic draw.

Hi! when you find the circuit that cause the draw,what do you do next? Thanx from Sweden

power probe has a chart that will list what the voltage drop equals to by fuse type and rating. pulling one fuse at a time on modern cars seems to only wake up modules and give false readings. i have had vehicles come in that it requires 2 or more fuses to shut down the module that is causing the problem. many times i just start pulling fuses until my draw stops then i put them in one at a time until i have the 2 or more fuses that are causing the draw. then just find a schematic and you will find the module has multiple sources of power..... the fuse voltage drop method is the best method to find draws because you do not have to unhook the battery which in turn can reboot the module and THEN it goes to sleep. but the fuse voltage drop method is very tricky to use because of the voltage charts needed to find what the true amp draw is and the sensitivity of the voltage being measured.

One thing to keep in mind about the cheaper hall effect current clamps is the accuracy can be pretty bad. The Snap-On EETA308D is a very accurate hall effect current clamp, it's also quite expensive.

You drink an expensive cup of coffee, oh and thanks for the great voltage drop tip.

Goddamn, you are one spastic retard. I hope you are not trying to cure cancer at your regular job.

So, I just got a 2nd DVOM for use at the house and now I need 2 more? lol It's alright, knowledge is power, even if my pocket book can't keep up at the moment.

Why does the fuse need to be removed when checking the amps at fuse location?

Funny how all of these videos show how to clean the post and cables. but they never say do not touch your clothing! because the next time you do laundry? holes holes and more holes..

Dude your a fag

Check pin 18 (Black ground wire) of your tailgate harness (white harness found just under the headliner to the rear of the vehicle). Inspect the connector for signs of overheating. Also inspect the black wire for signs of overheating. The rear defroster shares a ground point (X912) beneath the left side luggage compartment. It is held on by a 10mm nut. GM used an M6 weld stud and it does not provide a sufficient ground for all the circuits attached to it. Drill a new hole nearby, remove all paint until only bare metal is visible, then mount the ground connector using stainless washers, locking washer, nut and bolt. If the upper harness you initially inspected has signs of overheating, it should be replaced.
