You need to have it checked for a direct short within the electrical system this is the cause of your problem

Do this disconnect the battery positive cable and get a test light and put it in between the disconnected cable and battery positive post if there's a short the test light will lit-now start removing fuse by fuse till the light goes off-the one that cause the light to turn off is the trouble circuit.
