I donno, Newf. If we're going to give out awards for things like this, I would like to refer you to my 24 hour search for a power off current draw. I posted for help back in January; some of you may remember it.
To summarize, I found both my Optima deep-cycle batteries dead after a four-day sit in a heated garage. My new digital multi- meter showed a five amp draw. I spent a couple of days — about eight hours of actual work time — searching for it. I tried pulling individual fuses and relays, disconnecting the alternator, even removing the taillights to ensure that I hadn't pierced a wire with a recent installation. The ultimate problem was that I didn't know how to read my brand new multi-meter. The batteries had gone dead from my leaving the cab lights on for four days.
It seems to me that not being able to read your own meter should put one in the competition for this award, don't you think?
