well , thats a mess !!!!, the power mirrors an radio shouldnt be killing the battery, however a faulty cargo lamp circuit will kill a battery in a few hours.

when I think I have a draw , I disconnect the neg. cable to the battery , an then put a test lite between the the battery Neg. post an the Battery cable. ( close the doors an turn the key off ) If the test lite lites up you got a draw.,,,,

First start pulling fuses one at a time till the test lite goes out, when it goes out thats the circuit thas pulling juice ( be sure to un plug your door jam switch while your doing this ) also does your vechile have one of those under hood lites that works off a mercury switch ??
