Not been out and bought yourself a DVM, yet, then? Even one for a

Just bought from CPC, as recommended by Bill.Â* That should help.
Remote but do you have a mechanical, as in ticking, clock in the dash.
Had one with defective winder circuit that would sometimes get stuck in
"wind" and flatten battery. Until the clock needed winding no current
was used. Worth pulling the fuse if you have this kind of clock.
