    My bad, must have read the meter wrong. continuity on 87 and open on 87a. This it the test I did; I had continuity with and without 86 connected. Place the relay you need to test close to the Vehicle's Battery (you'll need Battery power and ground for this test). Using a jumper wire with...

    Hey guys, thanks for your help. I would not have made it through this without your help. Tested relay per instructions found on line and found relay to be bad. Replaced relay and amp draw remained low at .41. It appears the expedition is on the road again. Thanks again.

    Pulled #3 relay and checked continuity. Had continuity on both 30-87a and 30-87. Replaced fuse and no change in amp draw at battery.

    Had I known the amp meter had blown a fuse It would have saved a lot of trouble. I did as you instructed and amp meter read 0. Finally watched some videos on how to test amps and realized neither meter I had was working. Must have blown them both first test.

    If I would have spent that extra $30 to start with would have save a lot of headache. Still got off less than a mechanic visit and have a good tool to boot. Don't think this new meter reads ma. it is showing a .30A draw with fuse out.

    Took multimeter back to sears and swaped for a clamp meter that reads 400A. hooked neg lead back to battery and read 8.9 -9.4 amps. pulled fusses and found 116 to be the culprit. dropped down to .1 amp. it's a 40A fuse that controls the rear window defroster and heated mirrors. not sure how...

    Still having battery drain. set multimeter on 10A setting and it blows fuses in the multimeter. would that much draw be tied to the ignition switch? Remember now that it was getting a little sloppy, sometimes you would pull the key out and the door chime would sound. wiggle the switch and it...

    Also, when pulling fuses and relays, will the meter change instantly?

    Sorry for my forum ignorance and starting another thread. This all started with a blown left rear turn signal bulb. I guess I got a spell of the ******** and I was checking the wrong bulb since I didn't see a broken element in the right bulb. My son came over and pointed out that the bulb was...

    1999 Ford Exp. Here goes.. I disconnected the ground on the battery and changed the mfs out and when I reconnected the battery it soon died and would not charge. Got a new battery and everything worked fine, cranked it and moved to normal parking spot in the drive and next day it was dead...

    Any help for a newby?

    Changed the mfs and now I have a short that drains the battery. Put a tester on the pos and neg after disconnecting from the battery and have continuity between them. Any ideas what I may have done wrong?
