Word of caution, REW is right on but beware of the current going through the meter. Most have a fuse,some do not. My fluke handles 10 amps, easily enough for this test, until you accidentally try to turn the engine over, if so say goodbye to the fuse in the meter or your meter if not fused. Using an amp clamp most likely won't be accurite enough. Anything over .3 amps will be enough draw to kill the battery.
At least I think its .3 amps and under is okay, that is like the computers, if you have them and the radio memory, someone correct me if .3 is wrong, its late!
