DRAWING BATTERY DOWN? S70

A glovebox or trunk light staying on is one common fault

You can put a DC ammeter in series with the battery with everything off
and expect about 18-20 DCMA That powers the CPU and the Clock

If you see higher current, you can pull fuses and hope the culprit is on a fused circuit, You'll see the current fall to a low value when you pull the right fuse.
That should lead you to the problem.

Warning: don't run the windows etc, most multimeters top out at 10Amps
and if you run a window motor you'll blow a meter fuse.

Good Luck, Bill
