ive seen before that the door ajar lights not been working properly due to a burned out light and the poor blokes bulb was burned out in the dome, and that was constantly running down the battery, talk about a hard time diagnosing things.

so check that and check for loose and grounded battery cables and wires and try putting a piece of rubber on top of the battery it could be discharging through the hood.
