Default Re: Battery keeps dying

Take the cable (+/-) off of the ungrounded battery terminal, and put an ammeter between the cable and the terminal. Does it read anything?
If so, disconnect what ever is at the other end of the cable, hook up the ammeter between that end of the cable and whatever it is hooked to. (Terminal board?) still reading something?
The idea is to go down the distribution path, checking draw at each point, until you find a place that the draw stops.
Back up one step, and check what ever is there.
Common culprits are frayed wires, dash light left on, relay stuck shut.
There are wiring diagrams on this site to guide you.
