Default battery draining

when i got my 99 back from the dealer all was well. Said that they sent out the ipc out to get fixed. two days later the head up display just stopped working, aaalso the next morning it was dead. charged it up and it was fine. had battery and alternator checked, fine. fine for a couple days but won't hold a charge overnight. something is draining the battery. How can i find out what? not goin back to dealer.

Sounds like it's coming from the fuse panel over there...

Most common battery drain issue on a C5 is from the electric seat adjuster------ On my 98 I disconnected the pigtails under the drivers seat and it cured the battery drain-----try it on yours--
