Thanks everyone for the responses.
The alternator checks out OK and it is charging the system fine.
I tried completely disconecting the alt and still had a drain on the bat.
The battery is only a month old and if I disconnect the (neg) terminal I can watch the battery slowly coming back up on the voltmeter. It's only if you leave it for a couple of days that the bat drops below 10 volts. Not sure how many amps is being drawn.... 0.01 is what the VOM said.
I'll try the main connection to the fuse block.
How does one go about checking the individual circuits? Continuity to ground with the bat disconnected?
How should I check the positive cable? I think that goes directly to the starter. I'd like to check it. Could it be grounding somewhere?
I'm not good at troubleshooting electrical systems and I even had a couple of MGs to get experience on. LOL
Thanks for any more suggestions.
Mike
