Electrical problem
1999 Honda Odyssey 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

THIS VEHICLE HAS A 12V DRAW. I PULL THE CLOCK/BACKUP FUSE (7.5A) OR THE BACKUP/ACC. FUSE (40A) AND THE DRAW IS GONE. ANY SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT TO LOOK FOR?

Hi greig,

You cannot measure parasitic draw by voltage. All memory based components draws 12 volts. You need an ammeter to test the draw.
