I replaced the battery, starter, alternator and actually changed the positive and negative cables about 5 months ago. For about 3 weeks now my battery has been draining and I'll have it jumped and drive for about an hour and it will be okay for a few days then back to square one and it is drained. What's going on with this vehicle? I'm getting really frustrated with it, help before I blow it up.

I have seen the A/C compressor clutch relay stick on causing the battery to run down overnight. Here is a guide that can help as well and the relay location in the images below so you can remove it to see if the drain stops.

Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
