Every morning I awake to a dead battery. I jump the car and charge it for about 2 hours. Through out the day when sationary, I can hear like some sort of small motor running somewhere in the back beyond the back seat, possibly in the trunk area. Can you think of anything back there that can be draining the battery? At first I thought it might be the back seat belt, but I noticed the noise louder when I opened the back trunk.

Hi there,

It may be the fuel pump in the tank... Try pulling fuses one at a time and try and isolate it that way, when you feel you have the circuit isolated re post for further assistance.
