whats the allowable parasitic draw on the battery for a 2004 s10 blazer? im working on this car for a friend and sears told her the battery tested out ok, but she has a dead battery in the morning. i'm checking it with a multimeter and after "sleep" mode the draw goes down to 15 milliamps (.015amp) I work for BMW and they allow 30 milliamps draw, so i dont see why 15 would be bad. i have noticed though that sometimes there is an orange light that stays on on the radio. its the light that turns on when you load a cd. this is a factory stereo. also she said that the battery doesnt drain down fi she turns the radio off before shutting of the car.
