Hi all, was telling some family about my problem child and they mentioned this forum so I figured I'd give it a shot.
I have an 01 Monte Carlo SS that seems to have a parasitic draw. Unfortunately I'm not terribly car savvy and need a little help to hunt down the source. I got under the hood and tested with a multimeter.
With all relays/fuses in place the draw between the negative terminal and post read around 6 amps. After a few seconds, I think I heard a relay kick in and it dropped down to just over 2 amps.
Started removing fuses one by one, the only fuses that made a difference were three rated at 60 amps - "Left I/P", "U/HOOD #1", and "RTIP #3" with draws of 0.43, 0.67, 0.88 amps respectively.
The manual was incredibly unhelpful with identifying what these fuses powered for the most part and a cursory google search didn't turn up much.
I would really appreciate any insight you guys could offer.
