Best/easiest way to wire up this voltmeter for two batteries that would shut off with vehicle

Installing a voltmeter for my dual battery system that I would like to install on my dash in my 2011 Ford ranger. My question is how do I wire this in (with one wire to the main car battery and the second to my auxiliary agm battery) while also having it turn off with the vehicle (so it's not constantly on like my cigarette lighters)? Open to best practices and what would be easiest

Parasitic Draw Issue - 2017 Hyundai Elantra (Avante AD) 1.6 GDI - 55k Miles - Battery dead after 2 days

​Hi everyone,

​I'm dealing with a battery drain issue on a 2017 Hyundai Elantra (Avante AD) 1.6 GDI. The car has 55,000 miles on it. If the vehicle sits for about 48 hours, the battery is completely discharged.

​Here is what I’ve checked so far:

​Battery & Alternator: Both have been tested; the alternator is charging at specification, and the battery is in good health.

​Modifications: The car is completely stock with no aftermarket accessories.

​Questions:

​Are there any known TSBs (Technical Service Bulletins) or recalls regarding parasitic draw for this specific model and year?

​With 55k miles, are there common failures in modules like the Smart Key sensors or BCM that prevent the CAN bus from sleeping?

​Are there any specific fuses I should prioritize during a voltage drop test?

​I'm a technician looking for any "usual suspects" or factory-documented issues before I start pulling every fuse.

​Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Help reading wiring diagram (BMW N47 engine)

The turbo actuator has stopped working on my N47 engine. Got a replacement actuator from a breakers and still the same. Run through the test with ISTA which triggers the actuator to move but it doesn't.

Thought I'd check the wiring diagram to check continuity from the actuator connector back to wherever they connect but confused by the wiring diagram. There seems to be 2 different diagrams. One titled "bottom and lowest power stage" and one titled "upper power stage and 116d ed"

Though I'd start with the bottom/low power diagram. From what I can tell pin 3 on the actuator goes to pin 7 on the X60681 connector and pin 4 on the actuator goes to pin 11 on the X60681 connector?

Went to check them and pins 7 and 11 on the X60681 connector aren't even populated?

Can someone please tell me what I'm missing?
