you need to get an ammeter and hook it in between the battery and the cable. on the negative side is ok and probably safest. or you might get a meter that just wraps around the cable and senses the electric field. pull all the fuses. put them back in one at a time until the ammeter makes a jump. you bettar get that fixed. if it getas any worse the car is liable to catch fire. There is another possibility - unhook the battery and charge it up - or run the car to charge it up - and then unhook the cables and see if it holds charge. if it does NOT then the problem is an internal short in the battery - which can happen if the plates warp .you should do this FIRST. be careful - wear goggles have fresh water handy. shorted batteries can internally spark and explode.
