Looks like a good project. Love the '68 'blackbird' in the background. The second gen looks real nice too.
The point of all that was to determine if current is flowing from the battery when nothing is turned on. That would indicate a 'short circuit'. That is, current is flowing right to ground through a bare wire or something as opposed to flowing through a designed circuit such as headlights, battery or you name it.
Personally, I recommend when doing this type of troubleshooting that if you have a meter, use it. No need to rig up anything. That way, you can actually read in amperes what the current draw is. The light bulb, fuse, etc. DO work but I generally go to my meter. Why?...Because I have one.
