Thanks guys ..the ammeter sounds more like what I need. The meter I have is a Fluke T+PRO-1AC KIT Electrical Tester & AC Voltage Detector. I have not checked if it has a ammeter yet.
The battery was the first thing i changed.
I still need to find a the diagram for the larger fuse panel that came in a 1979 .. I'm thinking something like the rear defrost , the interior lights, the rear euro driving light, or some other silly optional electrical item is causing this issue.
Thanks All I will try to get to it tomorrow eve and let you know what I find.
