Your video has great humor and has very valuable information. A lot of people are not good and teaching/explaining procedures like this. Keep them coming. Thanks

I cannot thank you enough. I changed the battery 3 times now, and no one could help until you. Thanks again

This looks like it was filmed at Troma in the 80s. Very helpful video, thanks

Simple simple simple, found the problem, fixed the problem. You're the man and thank you so much for the free info. Kudos

This has to be the best video on parasitic amp test. Thanks

Dear Schrodingers, So far I have watched two of your videos. I must say they are a pleasure, and a privilege to see you teach us out here in youtube land. Your teaching skills are magnificent, and am grateful to learn from them. Thank you.

Great video! I usually get frustrated with these videos because people seem to go off on rants that have nothing to do with the problem. You were a pleasure to listen to! Very relevant information and I learned a lot! Thanks you!!!

Wow Ive always wondered how to find out what source is drawing power and thanks to this video explains it thoroughly. Thank you!!!

Excellent advice and a great instructor on how to test for "Parasitic Amperage Draw". Thank you for the advice!

A tough one to find is a bad (leaky) diode on an alternator. It will pretty much charge ok.. although sometimes a little low under heavy loads (wipers/fan/headlights.. winter scenario). Sometimes the alternator will whine louder than usual with an open diode. Disconnecting the big post on the back of the alternator will usually show a big drop on the ammeter.

awesome, thanks, it's awesome when you can find absolutely everything you need on youtube.

Best explanation of how to trace parasitic drain I've seen so far. 7 years on your videos still helping. I'll do this before a software update as my 2006 VE SS Commodore sedan is known to have faulty algorithm. Thanks.

Definitely the most useful tutorial of all this kind! Thank you so much!

Concise, step-by-step instructions on resolving a possible parasitic draw on the battery. Thank you for sharing this valuable information.

How Interesting you mention that because I also had thought about a similar technique to save time. If you find a good tutorial on a voltage-drop method for determining a parasitic circuit do let me know!!

2013 video helped me out now i can properly check what's draining my battery have the same multimeter thanks Sir

Great Job Explaining!!!!!!!! How could anyone not give this video a "THUMBS UP" !!!!!

Good video, man. Have met this sort of excessive battery drain a few times and this process really sorts it out.

Great video; the man is able to speak clearly without any difficult dialects. Practical info. REALLY LIKE his last remarks about how he knows things ha ha. We've all been down that road...

I know your informational video was uploaded in 2013 but..It helped me tremendously with my daughters car!Still great information and guidance!!Thank you!!

Good video sir, I've also seen a method where leaving the battery connected then voltage drop across all fuses searching for draw, same result but I like the confirmation you get by you linking in the metre initially.

lol awesome video man. Ending was the best part; "Don't ask me how I know that" lol I think everyone has made that mistake being in a hurry.

@12VGS- indeed you are right on both counts- the comment and leaving the meter connected. Indeed leaving the meter connected was my first choice but it turned out with the battery being side terminal and my inability to quickly find a bolt for the battery and sufficient lengths of wire to bring the VOM to me plus the delay in camera setup, the battery had already pretty much died by the time I got started pulling fuses so I kept it disconnected. I was hoping no one would notice lol.

I am not a car specialist but you have improved my knowledge on this lesson I really thank you from my heart. I have Captiva 2013 which its 7 minths old battery been completely dead and I have replaced it with another one under the warranty but my inner curiousity insists the problem isnt from the old battery so am going to find a good mechanic in where I stay to check for electrical source in general. Again thanks.. subscribed

Good, straightforward procedural video. Just confirming my plan before I dig into my daughters 94 Jetta with this issue. Thanks for spending the time to post this,

excellent step by step instructions, good that you have highlighted the potential pitfalls and problems to watch out for when carrying out this test . thank you

Very well done. EXTREMELY helpful!

You do a great job of teaching!

Thank you for taking the time to show us this

Very Helpful! Best video on this subject. Thank You

Excellent info!! It also helps that you have THE EXACT SAME VOLT-OHM METER AS ME!!!! LOL! Nice simple, straight forward video!!! Many thanks!!!

From the Philipppines here, got a dead Nissan Brougham VIP. And I tell you sir, this video makes me not wanna sell my car again. Thanks!

Will try this soon on camper. Thanks for taking time to make video. Will follow up after I do test.

Not a pro. But I know a smart, articulate person when I hear one.This was the best video of several I watched. This guy could easily be a science teacher. Good job!!

Bar none the most helpful amp drop video I have ever seen. Thank you for posting this

Nice tut, very helpful, I had thought about checking by jumping fuse by fuse with the multimeter in amp mode to find the bat drainage, which was going to work as well but much more hassle, Thanks for taking the time to explain.

Very easy to follow explanation--Thanks.

great explanation Mat

Thanks,Bruh.... I really appreciate how simply explained how to figure out the problem it was really good I love the video

Excellent video, clearly explained. Thanks!

Thanks for the tips you have provided here.

Grand! Thanks for the walk-through. Hope this will help finding an elusive battery drain in my Stratus post break-in attempt and broken door handle. Current guess for the culprit: the alarm system. Cheers

Thanks. This video is clear and easy to follow.

That was great and easy way to understand where the amp draw is going on my little brothers mustang kills the battery constantly when its not being driven so this helps me for worrying about that issue later as i install new head gaskets and clutch throw out bearing and all that good stuff down there appreciate this video

I've been an auto tech since they called us mechanics; this in an awesome teaching video. 👍👍👍

I want to thank you for this video. I fixed my problem which after a lot of time I discovered the Alternator was causing the parasitic draw. Replaced and resolved. Thank you

KZfaq is brilliant! I learn so much. Thx

Thanks for the help. God bless you

Explained so well. Thanks for sharing

Your presentation was clear, concise, confident and as a result helpful, thanks.

Thank you so much!!!!! Now I know where to start!

Great video presentation. Thanks for the information.

Relly found that helpful.Thanks.

ur a great mechanic man... super intelligent also

You solved my problem with this video. Thank you

Thank you so much! This is very helpful!

Thank you. Great video!

Great video short & to the point Love It!

Really good video . I have watched others . I think Yours is truly the best one . Thanks for Your hard work and help !

The 65 thumbs down can only be from those who make money diagnosing these things.

wow such a professional video , thanks so much bud found my prob thanks to you , merry christmas bud and thanks again for the video!

Great tutorial. Though in this case not related, my aftermarket radio needs permanent 12v to keep the time and bluetooth settings. Otherwise I have to reprogramne the bluetooth settings and radio clock and switch off the annoying demo mode each time the radio loses current, so each time i get out i need to remember to switch off the radio, any suggestions? My car is a French Citroën and goes into "Eco" mode since long before I installed the After market radio, this is to protect the battery and seems due to a parastic draw going by your video. Thanks for an informative video.

Very helpful! Thank you!

Very helpful buddy. Thank you very much for the video...

Very informative, thanks man.

Mine is a 99 ws6 in pewter. They are my favorite cars in the world. Those would have been some awesome videos. Keep up the good work. Your videos are very helpful.

Back to the future quality😎👽. Very understandible, thx. Again Bob belgium

Thanks a lot man for the great effort that is really helpful!

nice and simply explained good job very helpful

Thanks. Very good video. I used jumpers cables to go from the battery which is under my passenger seat to the fuse box to have the voltmeter next to me while I pulled fuses.

I feel that my truck has parasitic drain.. in the last 2 weeks I've needed a jump start going to work and leaving work.. I feel like there's something draining my battery while at work or over night at home... thank you for the helpful video I'll be sure to mention it to my mechanic when I take my truck into the shop

good video real easy way of doing thing

Good presentation, cheers. George C.

Maybe not high definition or surround sound, but the information was very good, helpful, on-topic and to the point. Thank you.

Very clear. Many thanks!

Great video

Oh my gosh! Thank you so much! I’ve replaced two batteries, lucky the first one was under warranty, but I knew it wasn’t a bad battery problem. Hopefully with this video I can figure out why my car battery keeps dying. Thank you so much!

great video, thank you!

"Dont ask me how i know that". . . its always the simple mistakes that make you humble yourself 👍👍

Great video sorted my problem out

such wisdom! lol this helped me a lot how ever so thank you

Great Video!!!Thanks

Excellent video!

thanks for making this video.

Crappy video quality, but what great and useful content. I never knew that the basic's to finding a draw was so easy. I'm a new believer and subscriber ! Thank you !!

Excellent, very helpful mate

Thanks sir, I did find this helpful.

good video. thanks for the help.

very nice video. thank you.

DUDE!!! SUPER HELPFUL!

Get a 4K and redo the video. Aside from that? Very succinct! One of the best videos I have seen and you did a spot on tutorial. Oh, and I don't know when this was made or when you acquired it, but you have the same multi meter model as I have been using for EVER~

AWESOME dude perfect video helped me big time 🤘 I have been looking for the reason why the battery was dying overnight. And you know how many guess games iv been playing lol

Very good instruction! Step by step, with "don't do's" as well. and yes, I'm not going to ask about how you know the battery in your meter goes dead if you don't turn it off. LOL

Thank you

Very helpful ty for sharing

Thank you for your video - it was so helpful for me... i found that it is the btsi fuse that seems to be drawing the amps... now what?

Best mic quality in town

Great info. Thanks

Great info. I did test the 2 radio fuses, had 9.2. Rechecked and now shows nothing. Do I just leave them out

Matt, you set a standard by which all other mechanics should follow!
