09 Apex dead battery within two weeks - How do I test

[rkkoeb]

Hello

I have a 09 apex and notice my battery would not stay charge very long last winter. Being that the battery was five years old I decided to install a new battery but still having the same problem. I charge the battery and when sitting in the garage it will go dead within 2-3 weeks of not using it. I would believe I have something drawing down the battery? How do I go about testing it? This is the meter I have and I will be honest I am not very familiar on using one so will need some help

ok I just found my draw on the battery. I removed the negative cable off the battery and put a test light between the terminal and the negative cable and the light went on. At that same time I heard a relay kicking on. This replay was installed for a heated seat. I am thinking the relay is wired wrong. Can anyone help me with the correct wiring for this relay?

What size fuse should I put in line from the battery to the relay?

Just search '20amp standard relay wiring' on the net. Tons of online info as this is a very common relay.
