Realize old thread but IMHO its better to link to existing threads on same topic.
I was looking at a friends van that has this battery drain overnight issue. His power doors are shot, that was my first guess so I removed the fuses in pass. footwell #1 and #5, testing it now. There are so many systems that are "ON" when the van is "off" makes troubleshooting a current drain more difficult. I used a digital multi-tester with a 10 amp capacity (very cheap HF model) through put, tested key off draw through between battery cable I removed and the battery post, at first I got like. .4 amps then it settled down to gradually to .1 or .07 amps. But that was after I removed the fuese. DId not have a lot of time to devote to it. any suggestions. Need to test obviously with the fuses back in and see what current draw there is.
