is your dash lights dimmer lever turned to the on position? never gave this any thought, but does the interior lights stay on with the ignition off, and the dimmer to the on position?

I don't know how but I removed my #1 fuse and recharged the battery and all seems to be working now.

I left my interior lights a few times using the dash light dimmer and it doesn't take long to drain the battery. I also had a door ajar switch go bad on the passenger side and gave me problems draining the battery until I found the problem.
