true but it doesnt tell how much its drawing which is why the dealership does the ammeter test and not the test light test. Some devices on cars are drawing a small current on the battery such as the clock, radio and the test light wont tell you the difference between these and the actually circuit(s) draining the battery. You will be wasting time chasing down circuits you dont have to chase
