Body Damage is Cool

One trick is to connect a current meter between the batt and the cable. See what the draw is with everything turned off. Then, pull fuses one by one, until the meter drops to zero. That will pinpoint the circuit giving you drain issues. Haven't needed to do it myself, but someone will chime in for a better understanding of the meter hook up.
