[QUOTE="VWBobby, post: 7547412, member: 624844"] Easiest way to track down a parasitic loss is like you're doing through the fuse block, but check for amp draw across the fuse terminals. With the car and all accessories, dome lights, etc off, check Amperage across the terminals. Sometimes voltage will work on circuits you know should be dead, 0 volts. If you find an amp draw, you know something is pulling power from that circuit when "off". Usually I find its some type of short behind the dash, in the door wires, or a component like a relay or motor failing (wipers, power windows, locks, etc). [/QUOTE]
