Ok, I forgot how this works. I've got a battery that keeps going dead like it's got a drain. So how is it you check for a drain? Remove the negative cable and touch a test light to the post and the cable or remove the positive cable and touch a test light to the cable and the post? I think it's one of the other but I forgot which .. ?? Thanks ..
