Car is pulling 12.65 amps of power from battery when it is not running. Starter was checked as well as the alternator and both fuse boxes - what could be causing the drain from the battery?

Hi misfitred,

Something is not turning off and you need to locate the source.

With equipment hooked for testing the drain, start pulling the fuses and check which fuse eliminates the drain. From there check all components related to the fuse.
