[QUOTE="Justshoe, post: 1033833, member: 561889"] Actually stones its better to do that on the ground side. Get a test light and go from batt post - to the cable - take off cable and put a test light between them. Depending on the vehicle and how many computers it has it may take up to 45 mins for them to shut down like this. So what you would need to do is get a jumper wire because the testlight is not a large enough load and put the jumper wire on the same path the test light is for about a min or 2 to let the computers and such time out. THen if you still have a drain and the light is still illuminated start pulling relays and fuses till it goes out then you know which circuit your dealing with to try and isolate a problem. Im a dodge tech and we generally find it to get a map light or hood/trunk light staying on due to a faulty switch. O yea make sure all your doors and closed and you may need to disconnect the hood light if u have one otherwise it will pick up the drain right away. [/QUOTE]
