I have a draw on my battery that I can not find. Has anybody had a problem with this?

Have you put a meter on it? How much of a drain? The clock causes a slight drain when turned off.

Check to see if any of your wires have chafed. If it's a major drain, I'll bet you have a wire grounding somewhere.

Not sure if this is related to your battery issue, but worth looking into.

The first thing you need to do is check the charging system and the battery. Every book in the world will tell you the same thing. Test the battery and the charging system properly before doing anything else.

tighten up your battery cables first
they tend to get loose.
