Simple.  Disconnect, or unplug the offending item, and see if it goes
dead again.  If you want to get into details,  Get a amp meter, and put
it in series witht the battery.  Then start disconnecting things, until
the meter goes to zero.   Keep in mine the clock and radio, are
always going to draw some small amount of current.
    BTW I have the same problem in a gold Syncro... runs in the paint
color.....LOL,    so when you find the problem let me know.
I've just been to busy  to look at it.

                                                                     ERic
