Vehicle battery keeps going dead after sitting a day? Here's Why! 

The best example I have seen so far, this guy's camera shows exactly how to do it close up step by step. Most of them on the internet seems convoluted and vague.

This is hands down the best video on parasitic draw period!

Thanks for keeping this video concise and organized. Too many video posters take a 5 minute explanation and transform it into 20. Good video.

Excellent explanation. A friend had this exact problem. Used cars with aftermarket mods are notorious

This dude is a genius! I've got a serious parasitic draw on my car that is killing my battery in an hour but I don't know how to test for a draw. Now I know, thank you so much!

Dude! Straight up thorough, easy to understand tutorial. Thank you.

This is so informational. I actually sold my 2019 Chevrolet pickup because I got tired of every time I let it sit for a couple days I would have to jump it off. Went through 3 batteries and several trips to Chevrolet dealerships and other mechanics and no one could diagnose the problem. Such an easy fix and they couldn't find it! Bad deal for Chevrolet because i had been a chevy guy for thirty years and will never buy another one because that one was undependable.

This is the easiest method I've seen for tracking down a parasitic drain. Can't wait to give it a try. Thank you, sir for a great video.

Super useful. This should be the first thing that comes up in a search. Thank you!

I have a charger/converter box thing that if you leave plugged in drains the battery. Glad you're teaching people how to figure out if they have something doing the same, but built in. Thank you!

This is the best video I've ever seen on parasitic draw...thank you

Thank you so much for making this video . I can for the first time see what’s actually required . I’ve read so many comments but you have help me because you are showing me something . 👍

Hello from London. My car had a feature which meant that the radio would switch off when the driver's door was opened. I kept getting a flat battery until one day my neighbour mentioned that she heard my radio playing music some nights when she came home at 3 in the morning from her night shift! I started always turning off the radio manually and that fixed the issue. The switch on the door was re-activating randomly to turn on the radio.

Pretty much the best video showing how to fix this mess. Thank you

Awesome video! Thanks for simplifying this. Especially appreciated you showing exactly how the meter needs to be setup to do this!

this was exactly what was wrong with my Hurricane. did as you say and everything works great. Thank you so much

Great video! I’ve been chasing a possible issue with our 2007 Ford Edge with intermittent depleted battery. Since our retirement, vehicle usage is significantly less, sometimes falling into the 3-4 week range for this vehicle as we have been using the 2012 Escape more frequently. Now understanding what the typical current draw should be and an expected non-use battery life of about 4 weeks I can better evaluate what may/may not be a problem. Thanks for the very detailed explanation!

Finally, someone explains in plain language. Thank you.

Thank you so much for posting this, straight forward and to the point, I just wasted close to an hour of my life watching pointless drawn on videos that were no help at all. I'm going to do this as soon as I get home from work. Thank you again.

Excellent explanation of the step-by-step process to troubleshoot this problem. AWESOME!

This video is so good this man explained this in full no confusion brilliantly done

Great video because your explanation is really understandable and it shows everything clearly. Thanks sir. Blessings.

i really appreciate you...took my clock fuse out and my odometer went off after staying on after shut off...really great video and it fixed my problem

Best video I have seen in this problem! 💯

Really good Video! Most people tend to look for the complicated issues first when it usually is a simple fix. I would use alligator clips attached to my meter or probe or probes so as not to have to hold the probes manually on the battery or cables during diagnosis. I am an alternating current man myself so working on cars and trucks is kinda foreign to me so I usually find someone else to trouble shoot for me and if I knew some of your tricks I probably would not have needed them in the past. Many thanks.

Excellent video good Sir…..I had this issue with my SAAB 93 and as it happens it was the radio which I’ve now replaced, great stuff and greetings from Scotland! 😎👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧🇺🇸

Outstanding video! Easy to understand and duplicate your troubleshooting. Bravo.

Thank you for the clear and concise information! My 2019 Ram 1500 is giving me fits with it’s parasitic drain.

Fantastic video, however you cannot really do this with today's modern vehicles because pulling the fuse will wake up other modules and you'll be chasing it for a long time. In my opinion it's better to time out the vehicle until the modules go to sleep, and then do a voltage drop test with a Volt meter across the top of the fuses or measure with a low voltage amp clamp.

Hello that was a good explanation and seems easier than everybody else told me how to do it but you didn't say if you could find a problem if it would be in your electrical locks on the doors or other electrical

Very good explanation. Easy to understand! Thank you!

Great video. My 1994 Cougar has an aftermarket Alarm I will check it first. Thanks.

Thank you so much for this simple video. Easy to understand and I appreciate you taking the time to put it out there for us.

Great video man straight to the point

THANKS AGAIN! (New Subscriber now!) ... I just finished your video on closing the Moonroof when the switch is busted, and now I realize it's the (missing) radio\soundsystem that was oddly draining the battery on my 2003 Yukon!

I knew you were going to say radio. Think that’s what I have going on, Thanks so much!

Great video! You saved me hundreds of dollars and tons of time. Thanks

One of the best videos on this subject… easy info and how to fix the problem 💪🏽💪🏽…. Thank u… and I subscribed

Incredibly useful knowledge. 🙏

Great job young man!

Clear step by step instructions! Thank you so much Gonna try this out tomorrow hopefully it works 🙏🏼

Thank you so much man straight to the point and clear

Thank you Sir! ..for this useful piece of information.

Damn. I hate running down shorts in a car. Had a son-in-law (for a minute, glad he's gone) that would drive to where he needed to be, and unhook the negative cable from his battery before leaving the car. Did it for about three years on this one old Chrysler he drove before he wised up enough to dump it for another car. My generation was taught to take care of a car the way it needed to be taken care of, the generation following mine got the idea that they had to go to school to learn how to check the damn oil!

great video king! much appreciated

Short and Simple, thank you.

Thank you. I am glad I seen your video early. I will be doing this tomorrow on my 96 burb. Again thank you

good job explaining brother

In todays modern cars you would have to loop in the multi meter and wait 20 minutes for the computer to go to it's static which means don't open doors and make sure all charging devices in the car are unplugged. There is usually another fuse box inside the car to the bottom left of the steering wheel in most cases.

Pulling the fuses (one at a time) great idea. Thank you.

Incredibly helpful, thank you.

Very clear and to the point tips good job

Thanks The best example I have seen so far

well done great explaining 👍

Good video, very informative !

Great video dude!

Thank you for this good tutorial man.

when i set my multimeter to amps, it does not stay at 0. it jumps around without being connected to anything. is it defective?

Thanks, sound good will try it.

great video. easy and to the point.THANK YOU

awesome job. true professional.

Thanks for the info very helpful.

Good info. Thank you 👍

I have a 2013 Hyundai genesis sedan and I recently put a brand new battery in and it’s dead within 2 weeks. I had the alternator and starter checked and they’re good so now ima try this to see if I have a drain somewhere! Gonna need a extra hand tho because the battery is in the trunk wish me luck 😅

Holy crap this was really good!! I'm gonna go do this on Monday I don't have a multimeter so I have to go get one.

Great video!!!

What about the wait time for letting the car modules go to sleep?? Also.. pulling fuses... couldn't that wake up modules and give you false readings?

Thank you. I have to jump my car every time I need to turn it on but the battery alternator and starter tested fine. My boyfriend who's a mechanic tells me this testing is not worth the trouble, will take forever to find the drain and wants me to get a kill switch for my battery. but I like this trouble shoot better

This was very helpful thank you so much for sharing GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!!!✌🏻from Ga.

Nice information...and a small video too..Keep it up bro.

Right on time for me. Thanks.

Thanks for posting! I have been wracking my brain on trying to figure out what is going on with my E450 RV battery. if the RV sits for a week, the battery is drained. I always have to have a trickle charger on it.

What is the black wire that is resting on the battery?

very helpful thank you

I have a audi a5 2011 i tested the same way and Radio/Mmi fuse is the one draining, just like yours, please did you find out why radio is draining battery?

Very helpful video!

Thanks

Thank you, very helpful !!!

There's a high draw because capacitors and systems are pulling as you first connect, then will drop after 10 mins, then you pull fuses leaving the multimeter connected

Yes I had a special test lamp to test for load draw on the newer cars or any vehicle. You're only allowed so many milliamps draw and if your battery keeps going dead you will destroy the battery the negative plates will sulfate and can't be unsulfate. Do you have a special battery charger and sometimes that won't work either. You should have no more than.200milliamps that's less than a quarter of a amp.

First video I understood. Thanks

AWESOME VIDEO!!! Thanks so much!!!

Are actually putting the negative lead from the meter to the negative side is the is the positive side still hooked up

Thank you for the informative information provided. If I were to keep my radio off could that possibly stop the drain from happening overnight

excellent video
