    Help finding a parasitic power draw

    My battery dies pretty quickly, usually under 3 days.
    I was wondering what setups you guys use for detecting the amps with a multimeter. I was using jumper cables in the trunk with the leads to the mutlimeter, but discovered my fuse was blown in the mutli meter. Would the jumper cables make this ineffective as well?

    I ordered fuses, but of course was sent the wrong ones. I ordered the PowerProbe Draw Monitor as well. It appears to not have enough power if I disconnect the battery, the trunk lights do not stay on.

    Also not sure how to detect when the car is asleep. The Draw Monitor was showing 145mA and then 0mA. Is that when the car is asleep?

    When checking the fuses with DC Volts, should I use the 200m or 2000m setting?
