Parasitic drain?

[Hayaiguy808]

Hey guys I've been having a battery drain since I got my car it's a 1998 s14. Tested all my fuses in the kick panel with a multimeter and found two 10A fuses reading high. One being the room lamp fuse and the other is the tail lamp fuse. I pulled both fuses out and it seems that the battery draw has stabilized but how do I find the actual problem and fix it? Do I just rip apart the interior and inspect all the wiring? Any help would be appreciated thank you!

1...welcome

2... there is a tech section for these questions (mods move please)

3..whats the concern with the draw? Is ur battery going dead overnight? Whats the condition of battery, and charging system?

4.... as for the interior light fuse, start disconnecting things tonsee if the draw goes away..(dome light, map lights, door jamb switches)

5... repeat same steps for tail lights, corner lights, and tag lights

Sorry I thought I posted in the tech section. But yes battery has been draining overnight. Battery is brand new (less than a month) and it's currently on the 3rd battery so far so I know it's not the battery and also the alternator is charging it up. I've removed all interior bulbs but I'll check the door switches

check grounds, there's many of them. i had the same problem but it's a slower parasitic drain. soi'll if i'm not driving i would disconnect the battery in all. or use a battery tender

Here's how to diagnose that.
