Been having engine battery/ alt problems.
Installed new/rebuilt alt 2 weeks ago.
Disconnected and cleaned all pos+ cable connections except batt cable on starter.
Installed new neg- cable between batt and engine block.
Installed new battery this a.m.
With pos cable connected (ignition switch off) and neg cable disconnected from batt; multimeter between battery and neg cable reads 12V. Doesn't seem right to me. If I leave the cables connected I assume I'll wind up with a dead battery.
Please tell me I am wrong.
The radio is turned off (only the memory light is on) nothing else that is powered by the engine batt is on.
Other than removing fuses how do I look for the source of the load.
Thanks for input.
