Recharge the battery.
Disconnect the positive terminal from the battery.
Now connect an ammeter in series between the positive post of the battery
and the positive battery cable.
Measure the current flow. With the ignition switch off, it should be zero.
If you have a stereo or a clock it may be a few milliamps.
If the current is near zero you have a battery problem.
If you do see current flow you have a short circuit or something is
consuming power.
You need to divide the circuit an conquer. First disconnect one of your two
fuses.
If the current drops you know have found the circuit with the problem.
Look at the schematic and find something else on that circuit that you can
disconnect to see if the problem goes away.
Keep dividing and conquering until you have isolated one thing that makes
the problem go away.
