DEAD BATTERY | How to FIND a Parasitic Battery DRAIN Using Multimeter!!!

Battery dies overnight. How to find parasitic battery drain. In the video I show the normal method of pulling fuses with key off after connecting to battery. I also show a different issue that only occurred after I turned the key on.

[@BlaserBuilds]

THE FIX!!! As mentioned in the video the "Driver door module" was bad. This is the window switch panel. I replaced the switch panel and issue has been resolved. Video removing panel here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZ-0paSYjMhprpI

[@deetv1044]

Once the circuit is identified, is there anything more that can be done with the meter to try to figure out the nature of the problem, before disassembling anything? such as bad switch, vs burnt actuator vs shorted wiring?

[@surajsrinivas7517]

Wow! Excellent video. Thanks for posting it and "turning the key" and "being patient" were two key nuances in this video vs. so many other ones out there.

[@jasonhenry5396]

Was it because the lock wasn't hitting an end switch saying it was locked and therefore always providing voltage to the lock mechanism trying to lock?

[@raymondshartrand2417]

Damn great video. Thx. You know your stuff. Electrical gremlins in vehicles can drive us nuts. 👍🙏👌🏆

[@jsnthurst1]

Could connect your meter through ac10 Amp fuse if it doesn't already have its own fuse....

[@nicholasmelfi4684]

Old video, but a 45 year tech here. You did it correct, but there is a faster way. Your DVOM will let you test for voltage drop at each fuse, any fuse that has a voltage drop is drawing current.

Hi, I just want to say that I have never gotten the necessary notion to comment or subscribe to ANY KZbin videos. I will occasionally thumbs up videos I enjoyed but that’s about it. With that said, I have to say I am genuinely impressed with your video. Very good job with not just giving clear and easy to follow steps and simple straightforward explanations of what was happening, but your ability to take an issue and with common sense (something way too many folks lack these days unfortunately) you use the process of elimination to find the answer to your problem. I’ve always had an open ear to anyone sharing their opinion or knowledge cause I truly believe you can gain knowledge from anyone regardless of age or disability or anything really. I’ve noticed I have always been able to see things from a different perspective and notice things most people overlook. And I feel like you know what exactly what I mean. But anyways I felt that I needed to share my ¢.2 on how well you did with this video. Also I’m going to subscribe to your channel in hopes that you decide to continue making how-to’s like this one. Again awesome work friend, be safe and keep it up. 👍🏻

It’s a great example how to stay calm, think problems through step by step, to find a resolution.

I came across your video among many others on battery draining...and I must admit that I tried others video on trying to find out what was causing my battery drain but had no luck at all...going through more videos I came across yours and figured what the heck and low and behold you showed me something different...to turn the ignition on to rest everything and I seen a difference in my readings but the kicker was the detail about the door lock...I bought my truck used and the back hatch never locked which wasn't a big deal but turns out to be my battery drain I've been having since I purchased the truck...thanks for the informative video!!!

[@leeblackwell9429]

Quick tip to not put your meter at risk: Instead of using the meter in series between negative terminal and negative cable when you cycle the key, use a jumper cable. Once you've cycled the key, connect the meter, and then disconnect the jumper cable. Vehicle still has power the whole time, but you avoid any potential momentary spikes which might blow the meter in the second or two after cycling the key. In theory, you could still blow your meter this way, but the biggest draws are usually momentary ones just after cycling.

[@jtiso2395]

You smart

[@kumara5492]

[@michaelcrossley4716]

[@sliderdriver1]

Or you could leave the battery connected and use a quality amp clamp? I've used my amp clamp (must have DC amps) and a simple tone and probe kit to trace wires. Just another method maybe.

[@luciusandrellius9817]

This is by far the best method I’ve seen. I quickly found my parasitic drain on my 1997 Honda CRV in the power door locks circuit. Coincidentally I missed it the first time but realized now my probe was plugged into the voltage terminal on my meter not amps. Now that I caught that mistake I was able to measure a 180 mA drain redoing this test. I pulled the 20A fuse in the fuse box under the hood and viola, dropped to just 25 mA. Since the power door locks quit working and I never lock my doors anyway I’m just going to leave the fuse out. Thank you! I don’t need to charge my battery every morning before going to work this winter.

[@lotharschiese8559]

Quick first pass check- after the vehicle has set for a hour+ with everything off, feel the relays and suspect any that are warm or hot.

[@timothyball3144]

Ah, the laying on of hands. 2006 Acura TL would drain over night. I few minutes on Google told me to feel the windshield just above the rear view mirror. Common problem on those was the hands free module located in the top, center console. Unplugged it and Yahtzee! I was able to run my temp gun across the windshield and see the temp difference, but that got me thinking about Flir cameras. They check temperature across a wide area so you don't have to rely on a subjective, "is it warm" touchy feely. Of course if its in a warm climate, you're screwed, but there are certainly times.

[@leebrooke1831]

Nice job. Knowing how equipment works is essential to effective troubleshooting. Now why does it have to be cycled by switch to activate the problem? Pulling fuse causes relays to drop out while cycling the switch allows them to stay engaged normally and allowing to ”see” problem in real time. Again excellent presentation!

I typically work on old non computer cars and this just opened up a world of knowledge on how to track an electrical problem. Thank you very much. Never would have thought to power up then down like I was driving in order to charge the system then wait until it sleeps again to track down an issue. I will for sure use it on my 2001 VW which has a drain but one that takes about a week or two to drain the battery. I have the time to wait. I had always assumed it would just go to the proper level right away.

[@wingerrrrrrrrr]

If you have an unknown draw that might be potentially over 10A based on how quickly it kills a new battery, it might be worth using a current clamp if you have one, or making a current shunt out of some 14 to 12 gauge household wire. You can use that to bridge the connection and use your DMM in the millivolt voltage range to get an idea how high it is without the risk of blowing your DMM fuses.

[@hillbillyb4u]

My current clamps only do AC amps. I don’t want to invest in a DC capable clamp, even though my Fluke meter will do DC amps

[@richards5843]

My 2001 Impala LS with 20,000 miles on it, the battery would drain in about 2 days. I attached my meter like you did and pulled every fuse out, but the meter still showed a more than normal draw on the battery. Even when I pulled the radio fuse it still had a draw.. I found that the amplifier had a bad ground so I purchase a factory amp and that was the problem..

[@kirkjohnson6638]

In the video I didn't notice if you mentioned the methodology you used for pulling fuses in order to narrow in on the offending circuit. My inclination would be to pull half the underhood fuses and measure current to see if any in that group are bad. Then replace half of the removed fuses and repeat measuring the draw. For example, suppose your underhood fuse box could be divided up into four quadrants ... I'd pull quadrants 1 and 2 and measure current. If the problem doesn't go away then one of the circuits in quadrant 3 or 4 must be the problem, so I'd put the quadrant 1 and 2 fuses back in and pull the quadrant 3 fuses. If the current draw drops off, the one of thhe quadrant 3 circuits must be faulty and, if not, then the bad circuit is in quadrant 4. Then dive down into the circuits within the offending quadrant using the same methodology. Do you see any problems with that approach? Are there circuits that will act differently depending on the status of power to other circuits? For instance, could a problem not appear because your door lock circuitry used a relay powered by circuit A that is turned on and off by a module powered by circuit B and that relay closes the door lock solenoid powered by circuit C or something along those lines?

[@philliphall5198]

Seems to be a fast way to start getting close to the problem and then work on each fuse Smart thinking 🧐

[@BenRush]

At 6:43, when he cycled the key, the meter read 17.xx amps. He could have blown the fuse or worse, the meter. He could have put a jumper between the meter leads just until he finished cycling the key to absorb the momentary current/amperage flow...
