Disconnect the negative battery cable and put a test light or dmm between the negative terminal and the negative battery cable...the light will illuminate if u have a drain..start pulling fuses one at a time until the test light goes out..whatever fuse you pull out that turns the light out use a wiring diagram to see what curcuits run off that fuse..much easier to find your problem, but prob wont be easy if u have my luck.

I had the same problem!

Run a new ground from ur battery to ur engine block, if that dont work make another ground from the batery to ur frame.

I had the same problem an replaced alot of sh*t statter, battery, fuzes, radio, fuel pump ect. Trying to find out what was draining my battery!!! finely I got advice from my uncle he said take jumper cables an hook one to the NEG on battery an the other to the block then to the frame if it still doesn't work. So I did an it fired up lol
