Hi there,

You will have to have a currant draw test done on the electrical system. To do this place a Amp meter between Bat Pos & Bat Pos cable (don't try and start engine) this will show any currant draw, with doors closed & key off. If above .25 Amp start pulling fuses to locate the problem circuit.
