[5th Gen : 08+]: Big draw
#1
Big draw
On an 08 touring I'm getting 4 to 8 amps between the neg. cable and neg post on battery. Is this normal? When putting the post back on the horn beeped and wipers waved. I tested all fuses and relays with the tester as described with no luck. When testing each there was a discernible click at the fuse box. Any help appreciated.

What is your specific issue you are testing for? Newer vehicles tend to do strange things and make strange noises when the battery is connected and disconnected. If you are not having any issues, I'd say it's normal. However, you may cause problems by continually disconnecting and connecting the battery.

mpt. this has happened to me a few times. if you grab the positive and negative and it still not secure side to side motion. caint tighten it any more. what I did was take the terminals off and then theres a piece inbetween the screw. I cut them down to allow the clamps to tighten more. then put them back on vehicle. this has solved my issue.

You must take the time to pull fuses one at a time while looking at the draw. You probably will not find just one thing that's causing it, but rather several things that add up. There's nothing that is controlled by a relay when the engine is off.
The horn and wipers ARE controlled by relays, BUT the relays are controlled, too.
What was the recall for? Could be a HUGE clue to the cause of the problem.
BTW, I've found 7 recalls for the '08 caravan.
