12V Short somewhere ?
Here's my problem,
My battery was discharging over a period of 3 days or so ,
so I disconnect the NEG terminal and hooked a VOLT meter toi it,
It shows a 12V draw with nothing on , I don't think that should be
the case, any experience or opinions on this? Seems that the only
thing on is the LCD clock and I shouldn't see 12V there.
Help me out if you can.
Thanks in adavnce.

You will need to check for draw by ampere, not voltage. The 12 volts draw alway there. Switch the multi meter to amp and disconnect the negative terminal.
Put one end to the negative terminal and another lead end to the battery. With all the doors and trunk closed, you should not see more than 0.05 mA.
