Electrical problem
1997 Ford Explorer 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic

My battery is dying when left sitting. I attached a test light according to the troubleshooting guide and there is a draw when off. I pulled all the fuses and the draw remains. Also, I checked all the doors, lights, radio, glove box power seats and cigarette lighters. I do have a current problem with the driver side door lock, so I even unhooked those controls and still the draw is there. Any other suggestions? Thanks! - John
