Yesterday afternoon, I pulled the door panel, and found no sign of any shorting. The harness is intact, and no insulation is missing. I disconnected the battery, and listened carefully for a click from anything on reconnection, and there was nothing. I removed the courtesy light timer relay, and did a continuity check, and found nothing wrong. I'm still on a search for the problem, since the battery was too low to start the engine yesterday morning. I've had the alternator tested, and the battery load tested, and everything is normal. I did remove the power wire that I had run to the radio, and it looks as if the wire was to the power antenna. This lead hooked to a constant hot source probably would load the circuit with the switch off (antenna lead would want to lower the antenna, and provide a drain to the circuit). I'll see tonight.
