simple test is: make sure everything is switched off. disconnect the earth
lead from the battery, then stroke negative battery terminal with the earth
lead clamp. if it sparks you have a short, or not everything is off.

I have a couple of non-loops that keep draining the batteries at rest
(or the batteries are crap). Is there a simple test with a multimeter to
determine whether there is a small drain on the batteries while the key
is off?
