you need to check and see if any of your doorswitches have broken off at the back in the door post. you may have a wire that is grounding out anddrawing your battery down. theseoperate your courtesy lights insidethe car as well as an underhood light if you have one. I forgot it's been a while. Also if someone has hooked up a radio or security system they may have tapped into that wire and it may be causing it now.
