How to check if there is draw on battery? Options

[nitemare]

Hi,

I purchased a Craftsman Digital Multimeter with AC Voltage Detector:

Now, I want to test my car battery to see if there is a draw when its off.

I watched someone else do it.

I believe he took neg lead off batter. Connected one end of multimeter to battery neg post - then clipped on other end to any part of car. Light was on - which indicated a draw. The light was always on even after pulling fuses out.

Is this the correct way to test? Please see the multilmeter I purchased and let me know how you would test for a battery draw.

Thanks!!

Well, after months of not driving my celica - I tried to start it and it was completely DEAD!

Jumped it, few weeks later, dead again!

So - I have to bring it to a electrical shop. My usual private mechanic can give a rats *ss to t-shoot it.

I pulled the fuses out for both amps and car alarm - still died!
