Default Electrical issues

Hey guys, having a little issue trying to troubleshoot an electrical problem. About 3 years ago my battery died aftrer I had a TNT nitrous kit put on the car. The shop I was using told me to replace the battery. Four days later the battery died again. So for years now I have just disconnected the battery because I just do not like taking my car to a pro shop. I now live in a county where I have to have my emissions done so I learned you have to do a drive cycle every time you disconnect the battery. So now I want the problem fixed. Well I have now remove the nitrous system and I put a test light on the battery and there is still a problem. The test light is also pulsing. I have taken the car to a shop and they thought it was the BCM. I looked at the sticky on the BCM and I have removed all of the plug in and the test light is still pulsing. When you take out the power accessories fuse in the fuse panel on the driver's side the pulsing goes away. I and in desperate need of this problem fixed. If you guys know anything it would help.

Thanks in advance.

i had a similar situation on a honda of mine. a shop checked it out and claimed my drain was related to a hard-wired radar detector. i removed it with no effect. i finally traced the drain to an aftermarket alarm system. shops don't always know what they're talking about. any other aftermarket electronics on the car?

I installed new speakers well one of the speakers blew. I replaced the four speakers in the interior. When I put the test light on the battery pulses or you can say it flashes. I have unplugged the blue connection on the BCM and when you plug it back in the flashing goes crazy. When you unplug the blue connector, it still flashes but not as fast.
