remove the negative battery cable and put a ohm meter or test light between the negative cable and the negative battery post. if it registers or lights up then you have a draw. a light doesnt always work from what i found out. then you pull out one fuse at a time and see when the light goes out or the meter reads zero. when you find which fuse fixed the shorting problem. you trace down that circut the fuse controls.
