Can anyone tell me how to test my truck for an electrical draw on the battery?
Thanks,

Depends alot on what kind of truck. If it's an older one, (pre FI with out a bunch of electronic stereo stuff) just pull the pos lead, and put a test light between,. If it lights up as brighty as it does going across the battery terminals, you have a draw. The same test won't work with on an fi vehicle. Anything with a bunch of computers will have a full voltage draw all the time. In this type of scenario you need to chech the amps between the battery and the cable end. I think up to .5 amps is ok on a car with a lot of computer stuff. I seem to remember checking FI cars as low as .05 amps, but still a full 12 volts. Hope this helps  |
