in my 95 z28 there was a short in the power drivers seat. so if you have a power seat unplug that. it was a problem in the 93 to 95.
========================================
i got a 94 too. the clock and radio run after you take the key out until you open the door. Even if the clock stays on the whole time, it probably isn't enough to drain your battery. have somebody with a wand check it for shorts, you might also just need a new battery.

What would make a car discharge besides the battery and alternator?
All of a vehicle's electicity using devices drain/discharge the battery, but during the time the engine is running, the alternaror is supposed to keep the battery recharged. If the engine IS running, but the alternator is NOT providing enough current to recharge the battery then ALL of the electricity using devices discharge the battery. Some of the "onboard" computers draw some slight amount of power even when the ignition switch is off, but they do not use enough power by themselves to significantly discharge the vehicle battery. Any electricity using device which SHOULD be turned off when the ignition is off, BUT... which due to some fault [such as a "stuck" relay for example] that keeps that device still turned on when the engine is not running and the key is off will also discharge the battery. Or, just leaving the ignition switch on without the engine running, or the headlights or parking lights on, or sound equipment left on will contribute to discharge of a vehicle's battery.

How do you repair a 99 Aurora inside light staying illuminated while driving but turning off 8-10 minutes after shutting the ignition off Is there a problem with the twilight sentinel switch?
Check the door switches first. Then make sure the light isn't turned on either at the bulb or at the dashboard switch. Many vehicles eventually turn off the dome light, even if it's turned on by the driver, to save the battery.Note: If the door switch contact failed, it would fail in an "open" state, and the light would not come on when the door opened. If the door switch was jumpered (bypassed), or the plunger on the switch is not making contact with the door, the light would stay on when the ignition is on and then time out after the ignition is turned off. But, The most common mistake is to accidentally leave the headlight switch in the manual dome mode (having the knob fully rotated to the left, or, counterclockwise), then the light stays on while driving and will time out after the ignition is turned off to prevent the battery from running fully down.
