I have an infinity Q-45 . something is draining the battery while the car is off. I've taken out all the fuses and each relay and can't pin point the problem. What is my next step?

how new is the battery? I had what seemed to be a drain on my old Q, but it was a bad battery.

Measure the drain in millamperes and report .......be sure to hold down alarm switch under hood.

Have battery internal [leakage] resistance measured.

I tested the battery in milliamperes and got nothing. I did everything you said as far as holding down the alarm button under the hood. I don't know how to measure the internal resistance of the battery. Can you tell me how?
