I'm a 9 year VW/Audi tech. This was an excellent explanation of measuring for a parasitic draw. I'm going to show this to my apprentices. Great demonstration of knowledge!

From a former tow truck driver, you would be surprised How many vehicles have a parasitic draw. Thirty days on the lot and the battery dies on almost every vehicle.

I recommend leaving all doors open but locking the latches. This way modules think its closed abd u have axcess to the interior in case issue is inside. Like interior fuses, cig lighters, etc.

Great! But 2 things to add to this.
1) disconnect battery first. Use a jumper cable between the battery post and the battery cable. Hook up the amp tester connections at the post and the cable at the same time.
Leave the doors open and trigger latches so the modules thinks it closed. This way you can access testing points without trigging things awake. Once the half hour wait is over, disconnect the jumper cable. The tester is already hooked up. Wont risk an accidental disconnect during the cable/tester transfer.
2) next level pro way of doing this even quicker. Requires a thermal Imager. (Works better in colder climates) Again, set up vehicle with doors open and latches triggered. Hood up and latch disabled, etc. Then hook up a battery maintainer. Go home for the night. When you come back the next morning, inspect the vehicle with the thermal imager. Whatever is causing the draw will still be warm. It will be obvious to find (unless its super buried in the dash like a body control module).
I have found many battery drains this way. Super quick as it only takes a few minutes to set up the night before.

Subaru had an issue with this, dealership couldn’t find anything wrong first two times…until they found it. I’m going to send them this so they can learn from Faye like the rest of us

thats good advice, but the tricky part is determining what is causing the drain.

My favorite multimeter is my DC Amp clamp so I don't have to physically plug inline with the circuit. It's not quite as accurate as the physical connection but it's served me well and takes but a second to put inline with the circuit. It's also phenomenal for solar system diag for my van.

I showed your videos to one of my friends he's an automotive instructor at a high school. He's been showing your videos to his students for a few weeks now, and he absolutely loves that your shop and yourself are so clean and professional. HE doesn't like to show videos where there's a filthy shop and a dishevelled worker, he teaches all of his students to be clean and professional.

The newer vehicles with the SOS system suffer parasitic draw at a very high rate. I actually did an overnight test because some of those modules power down after four hours. Toyota even gave me free access to their information systems because my certified used 4Runner had a problem. After a year of owning the car, they bought it back from me, they agreed that I found a bunch of problems with it 😁. Turns out, it was a former rental ca

The miliamps really depend on the vehicle, also a lot of vehicles take over an hour to fully go to sleep, some of them also won't sleep unless you close the hood latch.

Perfect demonstration of parasitic draw. All the essential points, suggestion/example of HOW to measure it accurately, identified the break point, and NO UNNNECESSARY WORDS. No "like, sub, etc." Your presentation speaks for itself. You just earned yourself a sub.

The new max for newer cars is actually 85mA as some of these new cars have to many computers the 50mA is still good to go by on older stuff

Great way to do it. Back in the 80s, we used a parasitic device between the battery and the cable. It had pins to hook up the meter.

OMG, Faye, after all my years of DIY diagnostic THIS video FINALLY solves one of the mysteries I've had trying to find electrical parasitic drains --> I've never waited the ten minutes to let the systems "go to sleep"! this never occurred to me, but you're right. THANK YOU!
