Should I first disconnect a battery lead and look for amperage between the lead and the battery terminal? Seems to me if there's no draw, I'd see no amperage. ...start pulling fuses to check for voltage ... assume any circuit that shows any voltage when it should be off contains a faulty componenet creating a draw?




There will always be SOME draw when off. Memory for the PCM (engine computer), radio, etc. Burglar alarm draws if you have one. That could be faulty and draining batt if you have one. When you check the circuits for draw, check the ones that SHOULD be off like you said. (Check your manual) Worst case scenario, you can completely disconnect batt for a few days and see if same situation. You will have to let the car idle awile afterwards and take it easy the first coiple of miles driving so the PCM can re learn for your your engine. If still going dead, have batt checked.
