When I leave my Jeep for 2-4 weeks sitting without starting it I’m finding the battery is dead. If I leave it on a battery tender it’s ok
I’m trying to locate the parasitic draw. I’ve disconnected the negative terminal from the battery and measured the draw with my multimeter and am seeing between 400-800ma of draw.
I read a post on this site to measure the draw by disconnecting the ground thats connected to the body next to the battery above the passenger wheel well (near the fuze box). When I measure it there I see 30ma draw.
whats the best way to do this? Why would the two different measure points show such different measures?
Has anyone else measured parasitic draw and if so how did you do it?
