Easy way to check for battery drain goes like this....
Granted the illustration i will use is for a single battery system but you
should be able to figure it out for your setup.
Remove the positive cable of the battery and wire a standard 12 volt light
bulb (taillight or turn signal style bulb) between the battery terminal and
the battery cable end. Because there is a current flow in series with the
light, the bulb should light up. It may not light to full brightness but it
will light up.
Next go to the fuse box and start removing fuses one at a time and checking
the bulb after each fuse is removed. Once you find the fuse that makes the
light bulb go out you have a good starting place of what circuit to test for a
short or drain etc.
thought this info might be usefull for general list usage so i replied it
there as well.
Sorry to all on the list if this has already been discussed but i am on digest
mode so i do the best i can.
