Hey David,
You probably have an electrical leak somewhere, maybe you can check the
electrical circuit a bit by measuring amperes from the battery and do
the following.
Open the hood, ignition contact off., connect a amperemeter to the
battery like this:
--------|
| + | -------+ Ampere meter between cable and battery +------ >
electrical circuit
| Bat |
| - | ------> to chassis (no modification)
|-------|
A number biger than zero will prpbably appear on you meter, this is the
amount of current flowing (away) while you're not driving the car. You
now go to the fusebox at the driver's site foot and remove one fuse.
Let someone else check the meter at the same time to see weather the
number decreases. Put the removed fuse back and remove another one. Go
through this one by one. See if the number on the meter changes a lot,
if so - you are a bit closer to discovering the faulty circuit (maybe
regulator?, horn relay? - check the diagram)
If the number stays high all the time, the leak is somewhere between the
fusebox and battery.
