Voltmeter does't work, because is is too sensitive, and will give a reading even if there is not a significant current drain on the battery. The test light you are using PROBABLY has a bulb that draws more current than your "leak", so it will not light. A MILLIAMETER will work, so long as you do not hit the stater button, or put any other heavy load on the system, which will (at the very least), blow the fuse in the meter. Or, find a small 12-Volt "instrument bulb", or "grain of wheat bulb" with very low current draw, that will light from the current leakage problem you're having.
