- How to perform a parasitic draw test. We show you how to perform a parasitic draw test using the power probe Hook without pulling fuses. Dead batteries could be a drain and not the battery its self, following these steps will save you from misdiagnosing a battery problem saving you time and money.

Hey there Dr Rob The Car Doctor/chief Surgeon here at IAC and I REALLY appreciate you taking the time to show me how to use my PPH to test for those tricky intermittent draws on vehicles! I also have your Power probe and appreciate all the features you have put into this diagnostic tool as well!
In closing, Thank You for providing us diagnostic tools to help us diagnose and repair Today's Crazy Complex Vehicles! DRTCD over and out... :)
I love this company's products and tools. My next video is on trailer light issues. Thank you for supporting my technician training program. Our students understanding of electrical circuits is much faster do to the Power Probe!
*_Watching this for my automotive class lol_*
Good job Jeff! I'm glad you stressed the importance of providing an alternate battery feed to the vehicle while connecting the Power Probe Hook. Some folks attach their "jump box" to the alternator output post or the under-hood (positive) jump post instead of the DLC.
+Jaime Lazarus,
thank you for your input Jaime.
Power Probe, great video!!!!!
Great Tips Good Stuff Very Clear Understanding 👍 Thanks!
Just bought a Power Probe III...because I am poor.....Great video BTW..
Power probe 🇺🇸 Thank you
From Nick Ayivor from London England UK 🇬🇧
ditto from Clive in London
Good job 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I only used the hook 1 time to find a parasitic draw since I purchased it You guys got all bases covered expectedly the connection of the memory saver U could have a latch problem when the vehicle is first shut off Thanks for all you do to help CHEERS
Good job teacher...
That you for your feedback Hector!
Where to buy that cigarette lighter to aldl connector cord from? And part number?
Can I do this test with a PP IV?
I have a question when you perform that test with the power probe hook ain't the light on the hook causing a draw it self? Also ain't that light can cause the battery to drain over night if you leave it hook up?
É mano vocês entregam para o Brasil qual é o site
Have you found any specifications for voltage drop across micro fuses yet? If so do you know where I could find them?
Cuanto cuesta pawer probe hook y donde lo compro
I am using my Hook right now for this same test on a 1991 Corvette that the owner says the battery will go dead overnight. So far a .012 amp draw for 2 hours. With the key in the ignition the draw goes to .257 amp. I think I found his problem...
Hi. Where do i find the hook tester
how to buy
I have got a problem on my 1989 Toyota Cressida, I performed the test as per the procedure and removed fuses one by one but the reading on my multimeter did not drop as it stayed on 12.45 ma. When I checked on the positive terminal of the battery I found that the thick white and red stripe wiring was connected directly to the positive battery terminal. I removed it and the voltage dropped to 0.03 ma.My problem is that I am wondering where must this wiring be connected then.
Greetings friend! Hey I want one of these tools but folks are saying that its ginormous and not quick enough to even read a turn signal. A turn signal is where a test light is really nice because there you just want to see the thing blinking.
My 2007 Cadillac Escalade ESV is killing me with current parasitic draws, no technician seems to have the true well to find it, I am trying to learn by myself and find it, and I'll highly appreciate any help in this regard. I love the way you've explained the process,
get a hook the first not second one. you see them on line now and again best tool on the market they should bring it back ..
Why/is this discontinued ?
Can you do this test with the power probe 4 ?
Yes...if you manually lock down the button.
jeff when you comeing back
The chart isn’t available
i use my hook all the time
where i can buy that hook tool? Because need that adjustable circuit breaker, what other power probe models do not have.
the Hook is not available, it's been discontinued
@@PowerProbeUSA So there is not anymore that kind tool coming from you, what have adjustable 65A circuit breaker, and can test components with that amps?
@@jarmohuhtamella9647 Correct, not at this time. We have new stuff coming out later this year, so check back soon.
@@PowerProbeUSA Thanks. Cant wait...
Can u do this with a pp3
no
I think the power probe 4 can do the same thing because it have the min/ max drop
Power probe 4 does not read current, it will not do a parasitic draw as this video shows, hope this clears up any confusion, thanks Dan

How can I buy the Hook? Can't find it anywhere just the knock off one
Hello Robert- unfortunately, the hook is no longer available, but we are working on a newer version. We'll release more info soon about it's availability.
I have a 2007 BMW 328Xi - The Battery in this vehicle MUST BE PROGRAMMED by BMW otherwise the car will NOT RUN, therefore if I "disconnect" my battery and then try to "re-connect" it the car will not work and will need to be "re-programmed", If I purchase the Power Probe III or IV and use a Jump Pack connected to the OBDII or whatever that port was you reffered to, will this protect my BMW Battery from having to be re-programmed? If Yes, Ill purchase this.
Yes providing your alternative power supply doesn't get disconnected or to low
the link dont work

Its called a multi meter ............

A voltage drop reading should go from the battery to where the circuit is to be tested, testing voltage drop across a fuse will only determine if the fuse is blown.

Sorry, way too complicated for me. I watch other videos on this subject they say NOT to use the chart method.
