Last weekend I tried to trace a parasitic draw on a bone-stock 98 SE with 135k on its odo. After hooking up an digital amp meter between negative cable and the battery negative post, I got a 140 mA draw. But it's strange that the draw is un-fused and constant, which means, this draw stayed the same after each and every fuse was removed/reconnected. There are only 2 locations containing fuses. One is near the battery in the engine compartment, the other location is near the OBD II connector at driver's left knee.

Is there any fuse in different location?
Any other idea to trace this draw?

Thanks!

 

Just a guess.

A bad alternator diode.

 

Went back reviewing the FSM again, I realized that I didn't pull fusible links in the fuse box next to the battery. I'll try it next week when I have access to the car again (not my car).

 

Ok, will try to unplug the alternator.

 

Make sure the car is asleep, all switches (hood, door, whatever else) are clamped.
