You can put the meter across the negative, doesn't make much odds, just might mean you don't get as good an earth to the chassis. | |

Spent ages yesterday doing this with my best mate on my car. Was a nightmare. We set up the meter and just sat pulling fuses out one at a time looking for a drop in the drain on the battery. Mine turned out to be my headunit wiring. | |

No, don't disconnect the negative as you're breaking the circuit and you'll not find the drain. | |

Yes, put it between the positive terminal on the battery and the wire from the positive on the battery. | |

Disconnect the pos from the battery and put the meter between the pos terminal on the battery and the wire you just just took off. | |

Do you mean the positive and not the negative? Or do you mean disconnect the positive so it doesn't blow my meter? | |

In series with the draw so yeah, disconnect the pos terminal and put your meter between that and the terminal on the battery. | |
