Yeah, my 2010 Jetta TDi was left in my garage for something like 8 months in 2020 and it started as if it was driven the whole time. Just, “vrooom.”

The GT3 is on a trickle charger all of the time, (rarely driven), but if it’s not, it goes dead. I know that a multimeter would tell me exactly how big the draw is but the test light will tell you *where* it is, which is the info I need.
