   It sounds like you might have a draw somewhere. To test for one, remove the negative battery cable, and taking a test light, connect one of the leads to the loose cable, and the other lead to the negative battery terminal. If it lights up, you have a draw.

  You then start pulling fuses to isolate which circuit in which your problem resides. Once you find that, start looking at things on that fuse circuit.

  I had a trunk light that was staying on, and was able to find the problem right away using this method.
