This in theory should eliminate the battery as the cause, because if it were the battery, it should have depleted greatly by itself over night. This means I have something drawing power while the car is off. I was praying it was just the battery, but now I have to take it in to have it diagnosed. Going to let it sit with terminals hooked up for a few hours and will read it one last time.


Weird, waited a few hours and tested it. Read 12.5 right where we left off...could the problem have solved itself..?
How old is the battery? If its over 3 years, you should replace it. That will be cheaper than paying a shop to come up with the same diagnosis.
