heehee. It didn't occur to me that fuses would have enough resistance to easily measure the voltage drop. You can check for parasitic losses with a voltmeter. It has the added benefit of not having to pull fuses and killing power to things like the ECM that require some power at all times.

If your next question is "Where do I get a voltmeter?", or you don't understand the video, get thee to a professional (eg, dealer).

If you made it this far, look in the Owner's Manual or the FSMs for fuse specs and physical locations. I'd start with the fuse block in the footwell, just because it's easy to get to. Then the block connected to the battery terminal. Then the IPDM. Then any other fuses/fusible links I found in the manuals.
