I agree the numbers are a little confusing. In post #8, the meter contradicts itself. It reads .110ma AND .110A. I believe he has 110ma (.110A) because I have seen autoranging multimeters do misleading things, and I sure don't buy that a 140 could ever have a .110ma drain. Also, the fact that he's always had this drain, and even installed a shutoff switch because of it lends credibility to the idea that there IS a parasitic drain. I'm not familiar with that meter-the Mac717 or whatever it was, but I always put my meter on the 10A scale to look for a drain, and I either see(depending on the situation) a whole number (or none), followed by a decimal point and 3 numbers to the right of the decimal. So on my meter, the 10A scale is straightforward to me. I agree that 110ma does not represent an incandescent bulb burning. I was thinking more of the vanity lights, but I'm not sure what they pull either. I would say that if a person put a 12-volt test light in series with either battery post, if there is indeed a 110ma draw, the bulb should glow, probably not very brightly, but .110ma probably wouldn't be visible. Getting a non-autoranging meter hooked up would also clear up some confusion!
