PLEASE HELP 2002 Ford expedition eddie bauer
Straight to the point, my mom has had her battery drain constantly after one day. I did the parasitic draw test and the meter read 12.63 which was the same volts as the battery. I then disconnected the alternator still 12.63. I followed the negative terminal to the solenoid I unscrewed the two nuts and one went to the starter the other one went up into where the windshield wipers are. I unplugged the one going to the windshield wipers and the voltage dropped. I pulled all the fuses under the dash and still didnt have a drop. Where does this go to and any ideas will be grateful. This is for my mom and she is going through it.

@Trux thank you plenty for explaining this. I was able to fix the meter and find that the alternator was drawing the most. I pulled the alternator and had it tested it was bad. I changed it and this morning the battery was full like it was supposed to be thank you all for your help. I will keep the wiper issue in mind.
