Battery Drain

White_Exploder · 02-21-2012, 12:10 AM

Hi,

Like everyone else that joins, I am guessing that this is a good place to start, I have a 1992 Ford Explorer 4WD V6 4.0 and I am trying to figure out what is causing my battery to drain completely dead after just a few days, I have a new alternator a New battery and I just rebuilt the motor and the transmission. I have heard that you can use a VOM on the in line of the battery and the battery connection to test the drain when the vehicle is turned off, but how does this help locate the problem?

Thanks, for your ideas and help…..
