the first step in diagnosing your problem is to perform a batt. draw test. I usually disconnect the positive terminal at the batt. post and connect my DVOM meter. pos. lead to cable end and neg lead to post. make sure the meter is set to volts. is the draw a 12v draw? if no, switch the meter lead pos. to 10A or milliamp. then with everything off, doors closed (you inside) start pulling each fuse one at a time to determine with circuit is causing the draw. once you find the faulty circuit inspect its wiring and component and power and ground. caution. with the meter set to ma, do not open a door as to avoid a volt spike to the meter.
