1.To do any logical trouble shooting on electrical issues you must have a good wiring diagram of the car.
(YOU'LL NEED THAT SHOP MANUAL AND A V.O.M. METER)keep in mind,wet, loose, or broken electrical connectors or corrosion on connectors, is also possibly a cause of intermittent problems

2. remove all fuses.
3. place an amp meter in the positive battery line.
4. replace fuses one at a time.
(replace one record the current then remove the fuse, and proceed to the next fuse and circuit.)

5. now with this information you must isolate which circuits should have caused or continue to cause the electrical drain, and which should or are not a problem.
6. once identified and isolated the circuit can be examined isolated from others and fixed, with the shop manual, and A V.O.M. METER.

looking for a problem of this type is like looking for a needle in a hay stack unless you use a procedure like this and it will overwhelm you.

when your tracking down an intermittent electrical problem, use logic, in most cases its a wet or defective connector or component, occasionally a defective wire,

step one is getting a shop manual so you can easily trace the wires and colors, obviously if it blowing the fuse the indications point to a short or ground, being the cause,but a component that got wet or a wire that got pinched during an accident or during a repair is most likely, I generally remove the fuse and Ive got a test fuse I soldered two wire leads to that connect to a 9 volt battery powered buzzer, it plugs in where I removed the fuse and buzzes,unlike a light so you don,t need to keep looking at it, I then I go looking for loose or rusted connectors, pinched wires, loose grounds, etc. when you find one the buzzer either tends to get louder or stops
you simply take a blown fuse and solder the leads to the buzzer to the legs and insert it into the fuse box just during testing, but its a very good idea to put a inline fuse in the leads so you don,t have problems, obviously you don,t need more problems caused by testing
