you got a short to ground some where

I got one too.. you got two options.
Get a battery disconnect switch and remove the voltage to the wiring harness when your not driving it.. or get a short finder.

They are about 150bucks I think and can be used to find magnetic fields in wires that should have none. (live circuits)

You follow the wire down until the mag-field stops and thats where it is grounded.
