parasitic battery drain

The bad thing about measuring Amps through your multimeter is that until you hook it up you don't know that it's too much untill it's too late. If the battery runs down after setting a couple weeks we are talking milliamps and not enough current to blow a fuse or melt your leads but if the battery runs down in a day or so you have a pretty good sized draw. The best tool to measure unknown draw is with a inductive pickup multimeter. Test lights in series will tell you there is a draw but it won't tell you how much. tmm
