Sounds like you've got something staying on. Probably in the turn signal stalk switch.

Disconnect the ground (neg) side of battery and put a test light between the cable and the batt. You'll get a low glow from the radio etc with the "keep alive" memory. If it's got a bright light, then you've got a draw from something on. Pull fuses 1 at a time to find the circuit. Then you've got to figure out what's allowing the circuit to stay on.

Good luck!
