I pulled the batteries out of the 98 Dodge Cummins 24 valve, had them on the floor and then decided to put one back in and do a quick check for battery drain from the pickup. With everything electrical turned off there is a slight very light spark when I rub the battery cable end on the battery post and there's a faint click sound coming from the starter area. Is this normal? It has to be dark for me to see the spark but there's also a very slight sparking sound when I rub the battery wire on the battery post. I know all vehicles draw a little but the light click from the starter area perked up my attention. In the past this pickup has sat for a month at a time and always started, even in cold weather with pre-heating. Now it needs to be boosted if it sits three days. I'm still suspecting the batteries since they tested bad with the hydrometer after charging, but I'm covering all bases. Thanks. Jim
