i'm chasing an excessive batt draw
unhooking the pos terminal, connecting a fluke dvm meter in series between the batt and connectorm the radio, interior ltets and turbo pump are the big draws.
eliminating the radio and interior lites i get to a 2a draw. yes, i'm on the ma scale.
after shutting the car off it runs 20-30 secs but the turbo pump is powered all the time, is it supposed to be?

i was misreading the fluke dvm when i was pulling the fuses to find the hi draw.
the meter was auto ranging and i saw 2.0 and thought it was a/amps but was reading ma/milli amps.
so instead of seeing a 6a draw it was actually 6ma/milli amp draw, which is point of reference at clarks on the excessive draw ck.
