Here's the drill. I would load test both the battery and alternator first before though..

1. with a fully charged battery disconnect the negative cable and connect a multimeter between the battery post and negative terminal.
2. Measure the current. It should be @ 80 milliamps. You likely have more due to a current draw in one of the circuits
3. while watching the meter pull relays and fuses until the culprit is found.
4. Repair problem
5. Send a bottle of Glenfiddich to my location
