battery draw
i have a 1994 ford f-150.replaced the battery,alt,starter and ignition switch.
the problem is i have a draw.took a pair of jumper cables and went to engine
block to battery and draw goes away.problem is cables are new also and everything is wired right.where else could this be causing my problem?
thanks

You didnt explain very well, so I am assuming some things.
So you have the negative cable unhooked and a test light completing the circvuit, and it's lit up? If that's what you are doing, the light should go out wit a jumper cable bypassing your test light.
You need to remove fuses one at a time while watching the light, when it goes out you will know what circuit the problem is on. A bad alternator can cause a draw also, so unhook the wires to it to check.
