I start with my stand alone snapon amp clamp and if I want to pinpoint the draw I do the voltage drop testing like you show in the video. I typically start by opening any doors that I might need into for the testing and bypass the ajar switch so I don’t wake any modules up by opening the doors. I hate the vehicles that take 45 mins to timeout. Thanks for the video Oz
i use amp clamp anc check across fuses. i never pull battery cable or pull fuse until i am sure i have found the source of the draw. sometimes you wake something up when u remove and reinstall fuse. i have tried every idea i have seen on the internet.
I just watched FordTechMakuloco video on the same thing right before yours. He also explains 3 methods. Both great videos for information. Thanks for sharing. Big thumbs up as always.
Like the equipment, you used specifically the Pico Scope and the Snap-on Amp clamp. Wondering if the Pico meter does AC and DC charting over time? Great troubleshooting skills love watching your videos with a box of popcorn. Keep up the great work.

I like how you showed the different ways of measuring the draw. An AMP Hound is another nice tool to use because you don't have to convert the voltage to amps. #ozgiveaway
#ozgiveaway The amp clamp is a great quick check to see if there is a drain, but I think I prefer the voltage drop test across the fuse to know right away which circuits to check.
