try and find any fuseable links in you wiring harness some times
when you ground out a wire it sends out a power surge that will
make a fuseable link to draw power even when your car is off. you
could even take the battery cables off you battery when the car is
running if it dies the charging problem is with your altanator or
relays. just a guess hope it helps RK

drain a battery.

a battery drain due to something left on or shorted out. Usually a
boot light or glovebox light or recently fitted stereo.
