85 5k battery drain

[Larry C Leung]

YOu would (or should if the meter is working right) read NO volts with
the meter hooked between the battery and the battery cable. It should be
set for Amps (current) and be hooked in line, just like you were adding
another battery (pretend the meter is a battery). It should be a series
circuit.
