disconnect the battery terminal and place a test light between the cable and terminal
If you have a drain, it will alight
pull fuses one by one in the main fuse box (careful to put each one back where it belongs before you pull the next one)
when the light goes out, you have identified the main circuit, then you can pull the fuses under the dash to identify the sub circuit using the same method
of course you will need the service manual

advanced auto told me my battery wasnt able to charge.
the drain was probably from my bluetooth obd reader
runs without any pressure on gas now, it probably needed that just for the alternator to keep a charge
thanks
