If you want to determine the current draw of a particular circuit you can determine it by performing the above and then remove the fuse for the circuit of interest. Subtract the two and the result will represent the current draw of the circuit.

Do not attempt to start the vehicle with the meter inline.
What modules should I disconnect? Which ones have the potential to stay awake if there were to be a malfunction?
