Disconnect the positive battery cable and install a test light or multimeter in between the battery post and cable. If the test light lights, start pulling fuses one at a time until the light goes out. Then find what is on the circuit and you will find your draw. Most test lights will come on with about 30 miliamps going through it. If the light is bright, there is more amperage going through it, so look for something that draws more current. If you use a multimeter, start on the highest amperage setting, usually 10 amps. Then switch down until you get to miliamps. if the draw is over approximately 55 to 60 miliamps, go through the same fuse pulling procedure. be sure not to overload the meter or you will blow an internal fuse.
