I know it's not the battery(had it checked out), I know my clock/radio stays on all the time, but I can't believe the clock display will kill a fully charged battery in two days of sitting.

Search for a post below titled "Battery Drain". It explains the process to go through to find the location of the current drain.

Horst(i think that's ur name) did trunk got back down if you didn't pull it open b4 it got to the top? I've been having some problems with the trunk. Sometimes it's just stops completely, but i take the panel off and jam a screw driver in there, then it works again, I guess to check that out, I can just disconnect the plug to it or find which fuse it is?
