    An ammeter would be best, but a test light may work. Shut the engine off and pull the fuses one at a time, and check to see if current is flowing with the engine off. A few circuits such as the ECM will have a small current all time. Find a circuit that is drawing very much and it may have a short. Another thing to check is the field circuit for the alternator.
