fuse labels are often on the underside of the cover for the fuse compartment. Both under hood and under dash. As said, pull fuses one at a time until the drain stops, then you have found the problem circuit.

The test light is one of the best tests.You will have some draw as it keeps the computer and radio alive but will be very dim.Most will light the light fairly bright when you first hook it up as it powers up all memories.Just make sure the light has a bulb.Ones like Snapon that uses a fuse type wont work right.Ive found most are interior lights or the alt.Did a lot of electrical work when I was at the shop.Jeeps had some bad wiring.Rocky

I use one of the cheap test lights mostly.They are like 5 bucks and have the small acc type bulb.I have another one thats fancy and gives a beep when it lights.Good for doing work when you cant see the light.Ive used them since the 80s at the shop.Just cant use them for 5 volt reference stuff.Rocky
