Default Battery keeps dying.

I have bought a new Batter, and checked the alternator with a multi meter. I wound up taking my 2005 Tahoe to the steeler ship. after 3 hrs they stated that the issue was the "right (passenger) front window module." It would cost an extra $400 on top of the $350 for the diagnosis.

I asked them to leave the door panel off, which they did not. when I asked what a module is the guy stated the window motor. after some net searching I found "window modules" but could not find them for models, makes, or yrs. The diagnosis sheet reads window module. So I am a bit confused.

Now to my questions. Can a window motor draw power from the battery while the car is not running with the keys out of the egnition?. Where is the window module located and could it be the actual battery draw source?

Any help would be great.

Todd.

anything can drain your battery when it's off.
on my car, it was the cd player which kept trying to load a cd 24/7
