I've read through the posts, but towards the end, I just kinda skimmed. I didn't notice if anyone posted this, if so, I apologize. With the car off, pull the positive cable off of the battery. Clip a test light to the positive clamp on the cable and touch the probe of the test light to the positive terminal on the battery. If the light comes on, you have a drain from the battery. Have a helper pull the fuses one at a time, make sure to put them back in before you pull the next one out. When the light goes off, you've found the circuit that's causing the drain. If the light doesn't come on, you don't have a battery drain. If that's the case, I'd look into the charging system. Good luck, John
