   yes standard multimeter will work…..but will need a "higher quality" or good brand version since most of the cheap ones won’t do this….

   ** btw most common "fix" for the parasitic drain is to hook up a quick-connect ot the battery and disconnect it every time …..or to hook up a battery tender…..usually the solar ones that way it gets charged all the time…

   A multimeter will work fine you just need to set it up right and disconnect either the pos. or neg. and place one side of the multimeter lead to the batt side and the other to the connector and it will tell you the current and if you open the door and the light comes on the draw neg or pos will go up this is normal remember that there should be a small amount of currant this is normal look for info on the web for how much currant is normal for your year make and model

   you may not know this, but a 12 volt test light works just as well. unhook battery clamp alligator clip on battery post, stick probe in unhooked cable. now the light is on. unplug fuses till light goes out.
