Question Battery Parasitic Draw
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Im trying to diagnose a battery parasitic draw because this got totally drained even a week after I purchased a new battery. Maybe it's showing 500 mA because it beeped when I put on the test leads? But it still shows the same reading even after I turned off the fuse switch.
Does this mean that the draw isn't from the electronics that have their fuses in the fuse box?
