Hello Listers,I am seeking to tap the knowledge of the list on this general=

<div style="color:black;font: 10pt arial;">Hello Listers,<span></span>
<div>I am seeking to tap the knowledge of the list on this general auto
matter.</div>
<div>I bought a hot rod last year and from the get go I have had a battery
drain. If system is left on the batt will get too weak to start engine in
a couple days or so. Recently I have been chasing the problem in earnest.
I did find one issue and resolved that with the hope that the drain was
fixed. No. Still there.</div>
<div>So yesterday I began preparing for the standard search method - pulling
fuses one at a time and noting the drop in amps running through the system.
However I needed a dependable multimeter. I have 3 but do not trust
the amperage reading on any of them. I secured a known good meter today
and here is what I am observing.</div>
<div>The reading starts out reading a few tenths amp fluctuating wildly and
then drops to almost 0 in 2-3 seconds. This happens time after time.
What is going on here? Why is the meter behaving this way?</div>
<div>Any help much appreciated.</div>
<div>Keith</div>
</div>
