so basically, i bought a new used car, the previous owners told me they had a killswitch installed to solve a parasitic draw, and save some money
i've been trying to diagnose & fix it myself, but i only have online guides to go on
what i've tried, basically is hook my multimeter between the negative terminal and cable, and measured the amp draw with the killswitch turned off (so power would go through), i get a reading of about 4 amps, which is too much, and abnormal as i can't turn on light/radio etc with it hooked up this way
i'm assuming the killswitch relay isn't getting the power needed to flip, i can't hear the relay clicking when i touch the contacts too (like i would hear when i flip the killswitch)
any ideas?
