I located the problem. The convenience module under the rear seat was drawing power all the time. I took out fuse number 9 and that cured the problem. Since this is an older beater, im not fixing it. The radio is also on fuse 9 so I rewired it. All is well, except for no auto-rollup windows and no dome light. ehh...
