Battery keeps draining from draw... need help
Ok guys, my battery keeps draining overnight. Last night I figured out the draw is coming from the ctsy and the stop hazard fuses. When doing my draw test on the negative side of the battery, I noticed the test light was flashing like the hazards would be on. I checked to be sure the blinkers or the hazards were off and they were. I had to pull both fuses to get the draw to stop. Does anyone have any idea whyou this is happening and where to begin troubleshooting? Nothing was changed in the car, no new electronics etc. Thanks for your help.

Any audible sound coming from the flasher relay?
Is the relay warm to the touch?
Could be a shorted/chafed wire somewhere or perhaps the relay itself is defective.
Is the power drain still present when you remove the relay from its connector?

You need to remove the driver side knee bolster and look towards the right side of the steering column.
There should be either a blue or a black box which makes the "ding-ding" or buzzing sound when you turn the key or leave the lights on, etc.
Pull that thing off the connector and look a little bit above it for the round, silver flasher relay.
Should look just like the turn signal relay.
