<p>Do this only with the ammeter in the highest capacity/Amp
setting, than gradually go to the lowest capacity/mA setting. If
you do not get any reading you are OK, if there is a reading on
the mA scale there is a slight current/draw.</p>

<div dir="ltr">I have been trying to find the
source of a parasitic draw of power from my
battery for the past several weeks. FWIW, I
have lost 0.75 volts on the charge over the last
4 days. This seems like a lot.<br>

<div dir="ltr">When I remove the cable from the
negative terminal of the battery (its a negative
ground car) connect one end of my ammeter onto
the negative terminal on the battery and the
other end to the cable removed from the battery,
the ammeter (set to read current of less than
10A) does not register a draw. However, when I
use a 12 volt light and connect it to the same
points`, the light goes on ever so slightly. <br>

<div dir="ltr">Today I noticed a very faint
humming from the alternator and it was a little
warmer to the touch than the other parts of the
engine. When I disconnect the alternator from
the solenoid, the humming went away and when I
tested it with the light the light did not light
up - no draw. I can’t see anywhere else the
draw could be coming from. I’ve pulled all the
fuses one by one to see if there is power being
drawn from each circuit - with the alternator
hooked up, there is no draw registered. <br>

<div dir="ltr">This is the second new alternator
I’ve had on the car in the last 60 days. I had
the issue before I exchanged the old alternator
and the problem continued when I installed it.
Could it be another bad alternator?? Are
alternators exceptionally sensitive or just not
made very well these days?<br>

shed on this.<br>
