Current draw
I've searched, gone through all my manuals, all the stickies, etc.
I cannot find what the current draw should be on a 90 crx si with everything off.
I am trying to trace a current draw, and right now I have it down to .04A.
If someone knows what it should be, please let reply ASAP.
Thanks you in advance.

Disconnect the negative battery terminal. Take a test light and clip the lead to the negative cable then touch the point to the negative post on the battery. If you have a draw the light will come on. Start pulling fuses until that light goes off. Whatever fuse you pull to make the light go off is the problem circuit.

he's saying use the test light, because you can get it into your head that something is wrong by looking at the very small draw on the multimeter. At that small of a draw a digital meter can also give false readings, it's hard to explain without going into a long winded technical page, but the way an electrical system functions in a car,it can do odd things and fool a meter. also pull you ecu fuse, and memory circuit fuse for the radio first, if the draw goes away, this will stop you from pulling a bunch of fuses you don't need to. Make sure the dome light isn't on either, don't laugh, I know experienced automotive electricians who have accidentally done this, went crazy trying to find a draw, and had the door open.
