Hello everyone. On today’s video we will be trying out 3 different test to look for a parasitic draw. Hope y’all enjoy

Thank you Oz. Good job. Have a blessed and safe week.

[@HouseCallAutoRepair]

Another excellent video that even the "new" guys can understand!

[@113036stat]

Great way to diagnose, in this case a visual is always a great first start. However your methods are the best! Keep up the nice work!

[@Usmanthemecano]

Visual? If you don't even know where the draw comes from how would you suspect any particular area?

[@johnturner8829]

I just watched FordTechMakuloco video on the same thing right before yours. He also explains 3 methods.
Both great videos for information.
Thanks for sharing. Big thumbs up as always.

[@ThePracticalMechanic]

I start with my stand alone snapon amp clamp and if I want to pinpoint the draw I do the voltage drop testing like you show in the video. I typically start by opening any doors that I might need into for the testing and bypass the ajar switch so I don’t wake any modules up by opening the doors. I hate the vehicles that take 45 mins to timeout. Thanks for the video Oz

[@brad3933]

Awesome video as always!!!

[@weldingjunkie]

#OzGivaway nice job on the video man. Mike makes some awesome sensors as well as Brandon & Cody. Keep up the great work

[@Greenfshrmn]

Great video, well explained...you should be a shop teacher!

[@anthonykreiser]

awesome video. Thanks for the information

[@dwaynethomas9265]

I just unplug my battery when I'm not using my vehicle lol

[@OzMechanics]

Thats a way to do it lol 😆

[@TheThreeLeggedChair]

Great vid, thanks alot.

[@MaxGoddur]

Like the equipment, you used specifically the Pico Scope and the Snap-on Amp clamp. Wondering if the Pico meter does AC and DC charting over time? Great troubleshooting skills love watching your videos with a box of popcorn. Keep up the great work.

[@carlbrandon8040]

very well done....

[@wyattoneable]

Nice set up and the visuals were really good too. Boom! You found the problem using science. :)

[@gonzgarr1592]

my go to amp clamp

[@DependableAutoTruck]

i use amp clamp anc check across fuses. i never pull battery cable or pull fuse until i am sure i have found the source of the draw. sometimes you wake something up when u remove and reinstall fuse. i have tried every idea i have seen on the internet.

[@OzMechanics]

lesal that’s a good approach

[@Zib187]

I like how you showed the different ways of measuring the draw. An AMP Hound is another nice tool to use because you don't have to convert the voltage to amps. #ozgiveaway

Nice work bro! Keep em coming #ozgiveaway

[@cpcoark]

Thanks for pointing out the fuse chart. Great process for finding a current draw #ozgiveaway

[@DylanRabier]

I like your setup. Scope with amp clamp and voltage drop the fuses. Thanks for sharing 👍 #ozgiveaway

[@kentwise1215]

Thanks for the vids Oz #ozgivaway

[@richardcranium5839]

#ozgiveaway hate those meters that jump all over. sometimes the cheap ones with the slower sample rate are much easier to use

[@scuba422123]

you would think it would make an open did the wires there part short at 4.7 a do you think a thermo camera would pick that up?

[@Usmanthemecano]

That's what I was wondering

[@sulemanhabib6349]

Multermeter test

[@bryanlamontagne2914]

#ozgiveaway The amp clamp is a great quick check to see if there is a drain, but I think I prefer the voltage drop test across the fuse to know right away which circuits to check.

[@rosss11]

Multimeter cuz its cheaper... i see Apple got free advertising in your video 😆

[@philh9238]

Wonder why the fuse didn’t blow?? But rather made a draw

[@OzMechanics]

phil holbrook the draw was only 5 volts. The fuse is rated at 15 volts. If the wire was a dead short to ground it would blow

[@GroundedDiagnostics]

amp clamp is the best way in my opinion #ozgiveaway

[@neverstoplearning382]

#ozgiveaway. Thanks for another great video sir Oz.

[@srdporter]

#ozgiveaway Great work as always Oz!

[@rockyworsham8640]

#ozgiveaway always good videos. Thanks

Another Great Video, Thanks For All You Do, #ozgiveaway

[@shaunblakemore7150]

#ozgiveaway great job, I use the low amp clamp method

[@ke6bnl]

I have to do this soon to my Dodge Ram that has this issue

#ozgiveaway nice chart from power probe and good job

[@tedcorrea8281]

cool video , i like using lab scope #ozgiveaway

[@fire7765]

#ozgiveaway great job

[@piqua793]

Think I would have disconnected the alternator to see if the draw went away. #ozgiveaway

[@OzMechanics]

After I fixed the the wire it went away. I added that in the video
