Hi you have a heavy draw on your car. Disconnect the neg cable use a volt meter set it on amps 20. Connect the leads between neg terminal and neg batt post this will show the amp draw. Anything more then 3 amps is abnormal. Now start one at a time disconnecting accessories. Each time you unplug something check the meter when you get to the one causeing the prob the amps will read normal. Could be alt pcm cooling fans trunk lights brake lights radio a/c. An easier way is too remove one fuse at a time. Good luck billymac
