Parasitic Draw: The Fastest Way to Diagnose Your Car's Battery Drain! #shorts
What happens here
With the Power Probe Draw Monitor active and the Fuse Buddy inserted into a fuse slot, observe the Fuse Buddy for an 'Active' indicator. The presenter notes that if this indicator (typically a red LED) illuminates, it signifies that the circuit is drawing more than 10 milliamps of current. This visual cue helps to quickly identify circuits that have a significant parasitic draw, indicating they are actively consuming power even when the vehicle is off.
Goal: Visually identify circuits with a parasitic draw above a specified threshold using the Fuse Buddy's indicator.
