help finding a short!!!!!
help finding a short!!!!! I have a 2002 ws6 trans am. I can drive it one night. and next day the battery is dead. tested the battery with a load tester, checks good. alternator charges good. no loose connections. before I go further. everything on the car functions as it should. all body and lighting stock jvc radio and mtx amp work as they should. does have STS turbo kit. sometimes I can leave the car for a week without driving and its fine. comes and goes!
that is what is making it so hard to find. I did track it down to the power accessory fuse/ circuit. I can pull it out and come back a week later and its good. I was thinking maybe a relay is stuck on. the owners manual says there is a parking lamp relay, and hatch relay on that circuit. but I believe those are in the DRL module behind the radio?

There are no relays in the DRL module except one for each side to switch between DRL and turn signal as appropriate. Both the parking lamp relay (which is actually the theft deterrent relay that flashes the lights when the alarm is triggered) and the hatch release relay are separate standalone relays not contained within any other device.
thanks for that info. that drl mod is like 60 or so dollars compared to the price of relays. I have been so busy this week with the kids I have not looked at it. I did charge the battery and remove the radio and mtx amp just to make sure they are switching off.
but thanks for the input
