Hi Folks,

I've been having problems with the battery draining overnight and having to jump in the morning.

I put an ammeter on the battery with the power off and the hood light pulled, and am getting a steady .5-.7A drain on the battery. There is 10 second interval where it's pulling about 2A when i first hook the ammeter up, but i think that's just the computer(s) starting up.

Is this a normal draw on the battery? Any suggestions where i should start looking? At this point the only plan i have is to start pulling fuses and measure the current across the connections.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
