Ok, now we have the settings on the multimeter right.
You diconect the negative clamp from the negative pole.
Now put the multimeter between the pole and the clamp (the red wire on the pole and the black one on the clamp or the other way around, that doen't realy matter).
Now you can read the amout of ampere that is being drawn from the battery (should be like 0.01) if it is higher you have to investigate.
Do you understand what I am saying?

haha my optima is SHORTER!! i have to put washers for the battery brace to go on or else it would be too low and threre are no threads on the rods that fasten it to hold it down!
my mom said her car delayed a bit when starting, like it was bad, she said she may have just stopped holding the key before the car started... but i dunno im getting re-worried!!
ill have to see for my self
