They actually teach you stuff.
Told me to disconnect the positive cable and stick the DMM between the positive battery terminal and the positive battery cable and measure the voltage.
If the draw is less than 0.9 amps that means the car is normal and the battery is bad.
If its more than 0.9 amps then there is something staying on in the car and I have to start pulling fuses until it goes below that to see what it is.
I'll try it tonight.
