Diagnosing a battery parasitic drain can become a real challenge with today's late model vehicles with so many electronics. In this video, I will run you step by step to measure the amperage and to isolate the circuit, causing the battery drain. I used a couple of tools to measure the amperage, such as a meter with an amp clamp and an oscilloscope. I used a multimeter to perform a voltage drop test on fuses to find the source of the fault and also a thermal imaging gun. #voltagedrop #batterydrain
