draining battery
so i moved my battery to under the bed and ever since i did that it always slowly goes dead. if i leave it connected for more than a day or two without driving it a good bit its dead... so theres something going on somewhere to make it constantly pull some current to drain the battery.
anyone else ever run into a similar issue?

The best way to find this is to use a circuit tester/test light. Remove a battery cable. Connect one end of the test light to the cable you just removed, and another to the lug it was removed from. If there is a draw, it will light up. You can start pulling fuses to find where the draw is. When you pull the fuse where the draw is, the test light will go out. Don't do this test with any accessories on, hood light, dome light, brake lights etc.

I run into this on marine products all the time. Should be fairly easy to narrow it down to the area thats givin you fits. From there it could be wiring, connector or a component.
