I am guessing that it could be the fact that your car is very old here and has died on you and is getting ready to die too. There could also be a problem with the engine and the transmission then too.
If the battery goes dead overnight with a 80mv drain you have a bad battery, the radio, clock and ECM along with other electronics all draw a small amount of current in order to keep their memories.
Pull the negative battery cable and put a 12V test light between the cable and the negative terminal. If there is a draw, the light should light bright. From here you can remove items until the light goes dim. The first thing I would test would be to remove the main alternator wire. An alternator can still charge but have a bad diode that will cause a dead short.
i have no idea as never seen this car but if this one of the big 100amp fuses then it could be the alternator --one of the diodes has failed draining the battery
My first guess would be a dead cell inside the battery, or a blown fuseable link between the battery and the fuse box. Someone would need to check the battery connections and fuse box with a meter.
i have checked all that is posable to fix this and im at a loss. for a week the batt. goes dead over night. i'v unhooked the ground and put a test lite in between the ground cable and batt. ground. its showing a brite lite but if i unpluge or puul the body controll modgle it goes out. i took the bm2 wireing haness and pulled 2 of the red wires out while the plug is back in the bm2 and the light goes out. i pulled all fuses and relays in and out side of the car and dont make a diffence. please help me with this!!
If this happens while driving, you have a charging system problem. With a multi meter connected to battery(red+ black-) check alternator output, it should be 13v or better.
If it's dead after sitting a spell and your batt. is 4-5 years old, it may be time for a new one.
Also you might have a draw, (somthing stays on) use a 12v test light, disconect 1 batt. terminal and clip 1
end to the terminal and touch the other end to batt.
post. With everything off,(remove bulb on hood) key
in your pocket, see if test light comes on.
If it comes on you have a draw. pull 1 fuse at a time
(remove+replace)until light goes out.When it goes out
the last fuse you pulled is for the circut with the draw.
If you have any aftermarket electronics radio/alarm/ or
remote starter check them 1st.
Also most auto parts stores napa/advance/or autozone will test your battery and alternator free.
Hope this helps. Good luck
