My battery is dead about every 4th day. I had it tested and it is fine. I was told to replace my alternator and did that and I am still having the same problem.

I have been told it could be my voltage regulator but I cannot find one for this vehicle.

I have also been told to test the "cut-out" and have it replaced but I do not know what that is.

Any suggestions.

I have not heard of the cutout wire and the voltage regulator is built into the alternator; do you have CD player because if a CD gets stuck it will drain the battery down. Here is a guide to help you check the other simple things that will cause the battery to drain down:
