Battery Drain question

alright just like the title says i have a battery drain. its really started to **** me off to have to disconnect the battery every time i stop for a few hours. i need some advice, i could...
A. wire up a test light and start pulling fuses until the light goes out then work from there.

or

B. just wire in a kill switch and be done with it.

the only problem i have with a kill switch is that i have shaved door handles. i have handles but no way to unlock the car from the outside. If i wired in a key less entry system would it still work if the kill switch was still engaged?
any help would be greatly appreciated

Re: Battery Drain question

your best bet is to go at it with a test light and pulling fuses.
a kill switch will only be a band aide. also if you do a kill switch if you power the door locks from the batt side if the switch you will keep power to the locks at all time
