I have a one year old battery that sometimes won't have enough power to crank the engine, especially if the vehicle has been sitting several days.

I suspect something is draining it. I thought I could use the current draw feature of my VOM, but in attempting to use it, the meter's fuse blew.

What is the proper way to determine current draw on the system so I may start pulling fuses to see where the issue is? (I don't like the see-how-much-spark-there-is-when-I-disconnect-a-battery-terminal method.)
