You are looking for something that will measure milliamps and if it has 10 or 20 amp capability even better. It would probably be best if you measured and verified the draw at the battery before you go to individual circuits though. Maybe some of the guys who have a battery switch installed could chime in with what they get for measurements since the battery switch makes it super easy and we would have a good reference point.
Yeah definitely plan to test for a draw first. Stepehen mentioned if it has 25-50 milliamps when the car is asleep, then it definitely is drawing too much power and will require testing each circuit individually until the draw is in an acceptable range. Is this the multimeter you are referring to?
