11 Note down the multi meter reading. If the reading shows in between 20-50 milliamps, it is normal
Note: If the parasitic drain is more than the specified limit. Check the trunk glove box and interior
lights to see if they are `ON’.
12 Observe whether any light is `ON’. Remove the bulb and note the battery drain. If the drain is now OK,
check that circuit.
Check the electrical circuits
13 Pull out the fuses one at a time while watching the multi meter reading. The reading will drop when the fuse
on the bad circuit is removed
14 Test the components of that circuit to identify the cause of the drain.
15 Replace the fuse if needed. Disconnect the multi meter.
16 Reconnect the battery negative clamp to the battery terminal post.
