jedimaster Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Is there a way to test for draw while the ignition is off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 You have to check with an amp meter,remove the lead and check between the lead and the battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster Posted April 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Someoen was telling me that it is normal for a tach to sometimes register a reading when the ignition is off. Is that true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taper Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Some of the gauges can show a reading when they shouldn't but check as misfish said at the battery to be sure there is no draw. I don't believe it would be your tach if there was a drain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonny Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 ok step one!! turn off all accesories and take key out of ignition,,,,disconect either battery cable and conect a test light inbetween the two terminals,,,,if th light illuminates,,,you have a draw,,,the next step would be to either pull fuses or diconnect anything that uses power untill the light goes out,,,then you've found your draw!
