Been fighting a losing battle on finding the source of my battery drain when left for a couple days in my XJ. It's got a new red top optima so I know the batt. is good. I've checked my door plungers but they are working fine. It's a Loredo so it's got tons of elec. crap on it and I'm not sure where to go from here. I suck at electrical but usually manage to get it figured out; now I'm stumped. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

I would start by hooking up a multimeter in the current mode to the battery. Hook it in series with the positive lead. Then, I would start by pulling fuses one by one until you current draw disappears. Search on the circuit from the fuse that stopped the current draw when pulled.
