Default Battery Drain!

Hey I was wondering if anyone can help with this problem. My battery keeps draining, so I replaced it with the battery from my non turbo stealth to my TT and that one drained also, its weird cuz it still lights up the door light and all the lights on the dash and in the key on place the ac works and when I try to turn on the car it dosent it just makes this thicking sound like a switch going on and off really fast. Does any body know what it can be?

THx a lot for your time!!

that ticking noise is probably the starter trying to get going. As far as draining problem, have you worked on anything recently? I had a problem like that but i was able to fix it because i worked on door lightsbefore the problemand figured that it was draining it somewhow. i think you can use continiuty tester to test if you have a short somewhere.

I also have a 92 dodge stealth ES and it has battery drain issues. Checking with a voltometer and the number of amps (its drawing 5.3 amps) while the car is off. I have unplugged all the fuses and relays i can find so far and no luck in reducing the amps. I also unplugged the alternator and starter (disconnecting starter dropped 0.9 amps), but again no luck. Also disconnected circuits and light bulbs for trunk lights, door lights, hood lights. Still no luck. Any ideas on what is drawing the battery down?
