Would a scan detect open circuits?And what could possibly be pulling so much power.Still got blue arc when touching terminal and post.I'm open for suggestions
That would be 11.7 volts, battery is none to good at those readings unless run down.
Get the battery checked, I suspect a poor battery, if so replace it and then check for the drain.
The multimeter meter needs to be set to the amps reading, not volts.
There is always some drain as readings have to be kept in some of the modules, no power to them and they have to be reset.
