i could be wrong about the .75 amps, i have the tester set to 10A and i'm getting a reading of .64 or so on the RDO BATT. so maybe that is 6.4 amps??? sorry for my ignorance.

Setting it on 10 amps, .64 should be .64...

Check for the fuse for the under hood light, if you have one...

there's no light bulb installed under the hood. also, the draw seems to jump up and down, when i first make contact with the leads the ams go up to 1.5 and then go down to .6 or so. ???

Did you try pulling some of the interior fuses to see if you could get it to stop?

Pull the fuse, and see if it stops the problem... If not, your draw is somewhere else.

If it does fix the problem... Get your alternator and battery tested, lol.
