New CEG'er
Been experiencing the drain problem for a long time now and finally started doing multimeter testing. Have a newer battery that checks out good and holds a full charge, but dies overnight if connected (measures 12.73V sitting and 14.06V running). With car asleep, multimeter-in-series test reads 151mA draw, obviously too high. A few "always hot" circuits draw some expected current, but pulling the brake lamp fuse (24, main panel) drops the draw down to 37mA. I don't have a list of normal acceptable load draws, but I know a draw of 151-37=114 mA is too high. Should the brake light switch be my next focus? Any help is appreciated.
