You don't want to spike your computer the real way to find the draw is hook up a multi metter that will measure amp and milliamp draw.You start with amp setting so you don't blow the fuse for the Milli amp setting. You put the meter inline between the positive battery cable and postie post of the battery.Then pull a fuse rill you find the circuit that the draw is on.
