As of recently I have had an electrical leak that kills my battery from a full charge in about 2 weeks. But once it drains my battery the Yukon wont start. What is the best way to start. I know the leakage is under the steering wheel dash by the foot pedals and all the wiring under there because if I move the wires under their I can see the Volt meter fluctuate from 13 VDC to 13.9 VDC I plan to pull the panel and what would you look for besides the obvious little spark/ Im going to also check the stereo connections even though it didn't happen until about a years after that. Any help I would greatly appreciate it. Take Care

Thank you very much for the tip. There was nothing wired in without pulling the negative terminal, Im going to Dive into it tonight. I'm going to visually inspect the wiring first and then if I aee nothing Im going to turn the key on and take a look and watch the voltmeter connected to the battery to see if there is any fluctuations in any area's. Take Care

Do an amp draw test and start pulling fuses one by one until you isolate the circuit causing the draw.
